More Details
1: QUICK CUTS IN THE KITCHEN (15 minutes)
Lindy Muller shows just how easy it is to prepare a salad using one hand, a good sharp knife and a minimum of gadgets.
2: BABY CARE (15 minutes)
Lindy Muller bathes and dresses a month old baby and demonstrates feeding. She also attends to her 14 month old daughter. This video will be most reassuring to anyone who has had a stroke - especially young mothers and busy grannies.
3: STROKE OF LUCK (20 minutes)
Sheila, Bruce and George, aged between 25 and 50 represent younger people whose interesting careers, family relationships and hobbies are disrupted by stroke. They demonstrate their physical achievements and explain how they have adjusted to limitations.
4: DES IN HIS WORKSHOP (15 mins)
Des, who has been in the building trade all his life, is still working despite a stroke. In his carpentry workshop he explains how he adapted to using his non-dominant hand. He shows ways to compensate for physical disability and challenges people to rebuild their lives with purposeful activities they enjoy.
5: COPING WITH STROKE (15 minutes)
Lindy Muller is at home with her daughters doing a variety of everyday tasks with one hand - driving a power mower; putting on a shower cap; setting her hair; demonstrating tapestry and ceramics; how to peel an orange; how to iron and hang out clothes. She takes you gardening, shopping and talks about doing frustrating tasks. Lindy's commonsense approach to problem solving is very encouraging.
6: KNITTING, CROCHET & SEWING (15 minutes)
Wilma Supple and Pam Maini have always enjoyed making clothes
by hand. Wilma taught herself to sew one handed and has made
clothes for her family. She demonstrates use of knitting and crochet aids and shows samples of her work. Pam demonstrates knitting without an aid. Recently she bought a modern sewing machine and she and Wilma are seen working together to see how the machine works.
7: STROKE INFORMATION DAY (1 hour)
The video records a Stroke Information Day held at Lincoln School of Health Sciences, La Trobe University. It highlights the value of sharing knowledge and that people with disabilities, carers and health professionals have important information to share. A look at demonstration stands, an edited version of a Panel Session with Experts, informal lunch bowls demonstration are all featured.
8: TALKING ABOUT COMMUNICATION (20 minutes)
Speech Pathologist Heather Whitney and a group of stroke people and spouses aged between 25 and 75 discuss life when communication is a problem. They talk about adaptation and also viewers see people who have had strokes doing tasks, telephoning and going shopping. A useful video for group discussion.
9: SPINNING ONE HANDED (15 minutes)
Dot Montgomery (who has one arm only) spins and knits brilliantly. Jenny Stirling and Judy Matulick, Occupational Therapy students, devised in collaboration with the Spinners and Weavers Guild, a special apron which makes spinning just as easy as before. Dot's happiness is evident as she is again a productive grandmother. Her techniques will be ideal for people who have had strokes.
Additional Comment
While this is an old video, it remains very relevant as a description of one woman's very successful approach to managing her young children.
