vibrating legs

Sometimes known as nervous energy. I can bounce my good/right leg up and down.  My wife dislikes this at the kitchen table. I have been working on doing this with my bad/left leg and can now do this fairly regularily. I think once it gets going there is no longer any brain control because I think it is driven by the spine. So it may not be useful for any type of rehab, but I like it because its the only form of fast twitch muscles I can fire right now.  I even have an AFO on.
Remember this is only to be tried with your doctors supervision.

  1. From what I've been told, all movement is good for the affected side of the body.

  2. Reminds me of these machines i keep seeing that u stand on, that vibrate thro to core muscles + have other benefits too. eg http://www.expertverdict.com/Reviber-Plus/Product1_20051_-1_64006_11051 (Am considering getting one.) I've seen exercises where u can sit or lean on them with different effects.
