Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hello, In addition, if you are able to use your toes to walk or stand, when you are walking or standing, you can use your five toes to grab the floor. This also help improve the muscle strength, the muscles under the sole and behind the legs. You can do this kind of exercise when you are sitting on the sofa/chair etc., This exercise really works for me. I don't feel fatigue. The more I practice, I more strength I feel. I don't feel weaker after this exercise. The therapist got a PhD in physical therapy. Thus, I trust her professional suggestion. She is a nice/kind person, too.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 My toes do not move at all anymore either. Never could spread my toes but now they do not go up and down either - no response to my mental command to move. Even ankles are much harder to move now that I am older.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hello, Still try to use your toes to grab the floors. Your toes don't have to be able to move. I think this is about train the small muscles under the sole. When I first tried this exercise, my toes don't move, but gradually, my toes can move. Please take care.
