Mom's foot seems misaligned after tibia-fibula surgery. her foot doesn't bend much back and only a little forward and it affects walking. is that ok?

Range of motion: restricted after food surgery. Keeping your mom safe from falling is a top priority. Please ask her to see her doctor. He/she MAY refer you mom to Physical Therapy or back to the surgeon. Peace and good health.
