Bar stool stroke rehab

Its important to do your rehab wherever you are. Getting my feet onto the crossbars on my stool usually doesn't work with just the left leg alone. My hamstrings are not strong enough to pull the leg underneath me, so I have to use my right leg to help. Then once there I can work on dorsiflexion and foot pointing while engaging in conversation and drinking. In order to get your million repetitions you have to take every chance you can to practice. And with no back on most bar stools you have to engage your core muscles to stay erect.  Walking after a few drinks really challenges your balance. Something your doctor should be prescribing if they were any good.  Have fun, I am.
