I used to walk on my toes also. PT corrected that and told me no matter how many steps I could take doing this. It was more important that I just do heel to toe. That the number is not important. Just as your PT is telling you.

They say after a while it is just like you always did this. And I can say I sometimes catch myself back on toes. But I have gotten to were I know and start back the heel to toe. It helps alot without falling. I can say I'm honestly glad you mentioned this. Because I'm afraid I went backward and forgot to see once in a while if I was still doing right.

My reasoning is. Until I did the balance training about 10 years ago at the most I always walked on toes. So its not unusual to reviert for me.

It is very easy to revert back to past behaviors following PT

my grandpa still in a wheelchair, not walking. :-( how i wish he has your spirit

i am really having trouble when i begin to start walking. today i had to start out by crawling

That is REALLY not a good thing...

I think the PT exercises you are doing are too much for you and you need to let the PTs know that you are going backwards

I hope that things improve for you today. Please be very careful when you are up walking
