Therapy eRehab - Lower Limb Co-ordination

Video 1 - Side stepping

Position yourself standing with an obstacle on the floor beside you and a table nearby for support. Practice stepping sideways over the obstacle and back again. Ensure that hand support is used only if necessary.

Video 2 - Single stepping

Position yourself standing with obstacles placed on the floor in front of you. Practice stepping forwards one step at a time and then bringing your weight back to the start point.

Video 3 - Target stepping

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart next to a countertop or rail. Mark 4 targets on the floor in front of you. Step your affected leg to the targets then return to your original position. Complete this for each target.
Tip: Vary the targets so that you are stepping left, right, in front and behind.

Video 4 - Toe tapping on cups

Take your time to tap your foot to the target, Making sure to be gentle enough to not apply too much weight. During this exercise your arms and back should be unsupported. Tip: Progression would be to move from right to left without touching your foot to the floor, or capping each cup twice.

Video 5 - Toe tapping
