The Benefits of Walking Backward in Stroke Recovery
from Stroke Recovery Rehab · host Blair Ames
In this episode, I share my experiences with walking backward in recovery after stroke and how this simple exercise turned out to be pretty helpful.Studies show that stroke survivors may benefit from walking backward in a variety of ways.For example, there’s evidence that this practice can improve a stroke survivor’s balance and gait – a person’s manner of walking.In my experience, the cliché “The faster you can move backward, the faster you can move forward” was certainly true for me.For more information on how walking backward can help stroke survivors, be sure to review the links and resources that I’ve included in this article: https://strokerecoveryrehab.com/2023/09/01/the-many-benefits-of-walking-backward-in-stroke-recovery/For more stroke recovery resources, read the free monthly newsletter: https://strokerecoveryrehab.substack.com/ This is a public episode.
