Loading ...Maybe your wife would benefit from AFO’s. Light weight braces that she fit inside her shoes that would help her walk better. Don’t settle for any kind and no cheap plastic as potential pressure areas. Open heal type and lose shoes not to tight for circulation reasons. It may help her drive again if she can practice putting her whole foot down on a pedal. Like stationary bike riding might help muscles as well as ward off atrophy from none use of groups of muscles because of neuropathy. House should be adjusted to there are no trip hazards. No blocked paths, no slip hazards since she can’t catch with other foot. Also if she does fall to use inside of arm or if backward arms out to brace backward with head up not to stiffen up arm to brace or use her elbow because that will cause wrist elbow and shoulder injuries. Weight bearing exercises protien drinks only when exercising and calcium during this time will help strenghten bones and musles putting less stress on joints as well.
