Now a days Hemiplegia / paralysis has become a common condition. The cause can be Stroke or Spinal cord injury or traumatic skull injury. In my practice, i have seen most of the rehabilitation programms are gait (walking pattern) oriented in my area. But we need to work out the upper limbs too, so this article comprises of the upper limb exercises in hemiplegia. After getting an admission for a Stroke/ CVA , we have to wait for the vitals (Blood presure, pulse etc.) to get stable. It may take a time period of 7 days to 1 month. After settlement of these things a phase of no movement comes called as - Flaccid phase: Here you will not see any movement [Lets speak more on upper limb], reflexes can be brisk or not elicited.

Most of the people have habit of sleeping in the side-lying position; they say “I can’t go to sleep without side-lying”. But do you know; it can be hazardous to your Shoulder? Let me explain! How?

Once a guy came to me with a complain of severe pain & stiffness in his Right shoulder. He was unable to reach his hand to the backpocket too. After a talk i got to know, it was a overnight problem. I examined all of the muscles & joint ranges. All ranges were full but some manual teats were positive for Supraspinatus & infraspinatus muscle.

And in case of shoulder, Suprascapular neuropathy is the commonest one. The neuropathy can be diabetic, traumatic or diet related . In case of this guy previous 2 reasons were not there. Deficiency of B12 can give rise to neuropathy. Ask the patient diet related quostions like veg/nonveg? does he consums milk? etc. nonveg & milk are good sources of Vitamin B12. Tell the patient to check the B12 values in the lab. Then start external B12 supplimentation. After which strat working out on phy
