Quote from Katie Sirlouis on 6 May 2024, 18:20What if can't move ankle or toes?
How long has it been since your stroke? It took 6 months after my stroke before I was able to even get a little wiggle from a toe. Be patient and practice mirror conditioning, wiggling the unaffected side and thinking and trying to wiggle the affected side. Increase intensity and milk every ounce of movement and recovery the stroke allows as your brain rewires itself.
Same goes with the ankle. This isn't an over night cure and takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and most of all, patience.
