My trainer and I have had success recently with pool exercise for my walking (drop-foot) by having me keep my eyes closed while traversing forward, backward, side-step across the pool. We do many other exercises but the walking was the basic issue and goal overall.
She says improvement is very noticeable. I concur. Distractions, which I never thought of as such, are eliminated with eyes closed and safety isn't an issue in pool. I can work to "isolate" the muscle / movement, apparently successfully!
We are going to consider other ways to approach this outside the pool. Suggestions & thoughts or comments?
I'm excited because of a possible neuroplasticity construct....
