What is a good product to use for a stroke victim's leg immobility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult PT team: The degree of "immobility" depends on how much motor function has been lost from the stroke. A thorough evaluation by a physical therapy/occupational therapy team can really help identify if any orthotics (braces) can help.
