How long does it take for the stroke patient to do his basic daily chores himself-.like brushing teeth, bathing, cleaning self; etc?
[4/7, 8:36 AM] Anandhi Giridhar: My main issue withy husband is the use of faucet. Bathing and change if clothes takes him about 45 mins which he does slowly and independently
[4/7, 9:40 AM] S. Sivakumar: One step at a time. He will get that too. My guess is his fear of falling down that is holding him back. You could try installing a grab bar which will give him the necessary confidence.
[4/7, 10:28 AM] Hardeep Sodhi: Faucet : tap. Requires a twisting movement of the wrist so may be difficult for some.
@Anandhi Giridhar …you could try changing some faucets to a lever type one where the elbow or gross hand movements may be sufficient…
[4/7, 1:33 PM] Anandhi Giridhar: Need to know more about this. As if he is able to manage using the faucet, he can be more independent.
[4/7, 1:35 PM] Prashant Khot: Me too
[4/7, 1:35 PM] Anandhi Giridhar: Grab bar has been installed but the problem is he not able to twist and turn his right hand
[4/7, 1:41 PM] S. Sivakumar: Ok. Try a bidet attachment that can be got online.[4/7, 2:39 PM] Hardeep Sodhi: I meant something like this :
