left side stroke, what i try to do
well as you all know i had a stroke and it was a left side stroke so my right hand and leg works perfectly so that is why i am blogging it is to let you know that what i try to do is copy all the time every chance that i get weither it be walking or to use my arm. i notice that the drop foot syndrum seems to be very common to stroke survivers so when i walk i really pay attention to my gate and what my right foot is doing no drop foot and so my right foot stays on the ground for a longer time than my left foot. i notice that my right foot sort of life up like a spring to bring my knee up so when walking i try to duplicate the gate keeping my left foot making contact on the ground long enough to keep me balance. that forces my left foot to lift my hip and my knee and it also eliminates my limp. so that is what i mean about copy if you have one good limb listen to your body and try to duplicate what your leg or arms is doing i just wanted to be as helpful as i can be to you in your journey of recovery all the best to you
