If it doesn't cause pain it probably can't hurt and may help. In my case (CMT) muscle loss is irreversible, but I would still try flexing my toes if it didn't cause sharp pain. If you start to have increased symptoms i would stop. I do believe that moderate hiking helps slow down the process or preserve what strength I have left in parts of my legs, and this could be similar.
