#hemiparesis

[thefaeriemerchant]

fell on a run. all scraped up like I’m a kid again. I’m very annoyed and also sad. Because I don’t know if this was just bad luck, or if it’ll happen a lot due to my balance issues. Is my balance getting worse again? Is my heelstrike worse? I’ve been trying to walk better, but I can’t help that I forget. My brain is quite literally not wired to walk normally.

After I got up all I could so was limp like I used to, before my heelchord extension surgery. It was weird. Idk. Surreal. To be limping again, and to have scraped knees. Distinctly 7 year old vibe for me.

Anyway hot tip everyone do not have a stroke

Very often people say that ambidextrous people are actually just lefties who were forced to use their right hand.

Meanwhile my hemiparetic (right side) ass is sitting here like "Am I a joke to you?" 😂

My right side may be weak, which is why I often use my left hand/arm for things that need muscle strength, but I automatically started writing with my right hand when I learned how to write 😅

DO YOU SUFFER FROM RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS? HEMIPARESIS FROM A CVA? A SPINAL CORD INJURY?

DO THESE THINGS STOP YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU USED TO LOVE?

THEN TRY THE SEWIST’S FRIEND!!

For one of my classes (Physical Dysfunction) in my Occupational Therapy program this semester, we had to create an adaptive device. We’ve recently been learning about stroke patients with hemiparesis (severe weakness on one side of the body), and I was trying to think of what could help if I no longer had fine motor control over my fingers. How could I still sew and engage in meaningful occupations?

That’s how I came up with the idea for my project. I would still want to sew even without fine motor control, a superior pincer grip or minimal finger dexterity.

So I created these elastic pockets on a compression glove that hold needle nose pliers which are able to do the grasping for you. All you need is the gross motor control of a flexing and extending Palmar grasp.

I did really well, and I’m really proud of it, and maybe it could help people sew and embroider who have difficulty after an injury or after being diagnosed with difficult conditions.
