Best Sit to Stand Exercise For Stroke Rehab
After neurological events such as a stroke or multiple sclerosis (MS) exacerbation, maintaining proper alignment during basic movements can be challenging.
A common challenge encountered is the tendency of the leg to rotate outward during activities like rising from a sitting position. A helpful exercise to counteract this is a specialized sit-to-stand movement.
- Place the yoga block snugly between your knees.
- Engage your thigh muscles to gently squeeze the block.
- Perform a mini sit-to-stand movement, focusing on keeping the knees aligned and the block steady.
This exercise can be particularly beneficial in retraining the neuromuscular pathways that control the positioning and movement of your legs.
By incorporating this variation into your routine, you aim to restore better functional alignment and stability.
Regular practice may help improve coordination, enhance balance, and ultimately support independence in daily activities for individuals affected by neurological damage.
