@drmarkheisig: 🩺The Fukuda Stepping Test was originally used as a vestibular test, but we're finding it's likely more of a proprioceptive test. 😵‍💫We use this for folks with headaches, dizziness, pain, etc... The game: ➡️Find a safe open space where you won't smash your shins or stub your toes. ➡️Reach your arms out in front of you (I like to have patients overlap their hands) ➡️Close your eyes. ➡️Begin to alternate marching your knees up to 90 degrees. ➡️Repeat this for 90 steps. ➡️Open your eyes! Are you in the same position? ✅Now, you don't have to be perfect. We allow wiggle room of up to 30 degrees in either direction. But if you move a full 90 like I just did (or 180, like some of my patients), then we've got some stuff to work on! 💪🧠 🤷‍♂️In this video, I showed a very simple rehab example: If we're rotating right, let's do a right anti-rotation drill. 🔎In the office, we get more nuanced - How does this match up with frontal findings? Cerebellar? Vestibular? Sensory? Etc... We can often improve this deficit drastically by just using appropriately prescribed saccades ("jumping eye movements)!🤯 ☝️Off camera (after I had filmed and edited this video), I chatted with Dr Mike Kay about using "whats that strap" for a much more functional and dynamic means of addressing this deficit. That might have to be a future collaborative video. For those who try this at home, let me know in the comments below how it goes!👇 🌎Whether you are in Scottsdale or elsewhere in the world, if you need help with concussion/PCS, there's always something we can do.
