    Its great provided you have some form of functionality in the leg and foot, but when you dont have basic functionality it makes the exercises incredibly difficult.

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Absolutely! I always recommend choosing a modified position when the exercises are too difficult. I have a TH-cam video on lots of ways to modify!

    Is this also helpful for stroke drop foot?

      While my videos are designed for those with MS in mind, the strategies and techniques shared are also beneficial for those who have been diagnosed with stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, and parkinsons.

    Dr G. What do you think about the night time sleep straps for gently stretching the calf. My masseuse mentioned that I should try it?

      @DoctorGretchenHawley  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've had a few clients use them and found them to be useful. Worth a shot and see how it feels!

    Is my footdrop caused by weak muscles or by a non functioning nerve to activate these muscles? If so, what can I expect from exercising the muscles?

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a difficult question to answer without a proper evaluation, however these exercises will both increase strength in the muscles as well as increase neuroplasticity to strengthen current neural pathways OR find brand news ones.

    If I could pick my toes up and then gently lower them down I wouldn't have a foot drop. Would I?

    • @DoctorGretchenHawley
      @DoctorGretchenHawley  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lifting your toes is not a sure sign that foot drop wouldn't occur. But, having the ability to lift your toes properly is definitely a big factor in helping prevent foot drop.

    • @samkitty5894
      @samkitty5894 ปีที่แล้ว

      Helping prevent foot drop? I had perfect mobility. I played soccer for decades. I could do anything with my toes, my feet, my legs. Then one morning I woke up and foot drop was there. Just like that. No amount of prevention helped. No trauma, no illness, no stroke, no chemo, no ingesting toxic chemicals...no explanation... @@DoctorGretchenHawley
