As many of you know, my husband suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke last September, leaving him with left-sided weakness in both his arm & leg. One of his biggest challenges from that has been foot drop — which is when the muscles that lift your foot don’t activate properly. That means his toes sometimes drag, he tends to trip more easily, his steps are a little uneven, and he even rolls his ankle due to weakness & sensory loss. Foot drop is incredibly common post-stroke and can really impact your confidence with movement. We’ve tried probably 8 different AFOs (ankle-foot orthoses) before realizing that while some provide stability, others actually create long-term dependence and weakness. That’s when we switched to the Bioness L300 Go about six months ago - and it’s been a total game changer for his confidence & our family! This device activates his peroneal nerve, helping lift his foot naturally during walking. For him, it’s meant smoother steps, fewer stumbles, and the ability to move with more freedom & feel comfortable enough to hold our toddler while walking around!!!
 But here’s the thing — we don’t want to rely on it forever. 
Our long-term goal is independence. As a physical therapist (and wife), I’ve been working with him on rebuilding his anterior tibialis strength, controlling ankle inversion, reconnecting with his foot, ankle, and toes, and restoring that mind-body link that was disrupted by his stroke. It’s been slow and humbling, but every toe wiggle & ankle movement is a victory - if you know, you know!!!
 Here are some of the key exercises we’ve been using to target his foot drop & rebuild that connection 👇🏼
1️⃣ KB Hip Flexor Lifts
2️⃣ Hip Flexor Rollback
3️⃣ Ankle Circles
4️⃣ Lateral Band Walks
5️⃣ Banded Ankle Eversion
6️⃣ Big Toe Lifts 7️⃣ Toe Curls / Lifts
8️⃣ Ankle Eversion Lifts  As always, consult your healthcare provider before trying new exercises — and if you’re navigating foot drop or post-stroke rehab yourself, drop a comment below or reach out. You’re not alone in this journey. ❤️ #footdrop #dropfoot #neurorehab #bioness #strokerecovery     @Bioness Medical, Inc. @Bioness Clinical Note
