How can people with hemiplegia walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spasticity helps: Extensor tone over the afflicted leg allows some dimensions of stabilization, but safer to use an AFO splint for the foot drop, and perhaps a 4-legged cane to add to support, or better yet, a walker on wheels to prevent falling.
