It is always a toss up but you probably will be able to walk around the house some being very careful without your AFO. JMO. I wish you well.

right now my calves are pretty strong. If I wear theis AFO will my calf muscle get weak with atrophy? I would love to hear your experiences.

I guess the bottom line is if you trip over your toes and break a hip or leg, atophy will occur as you recover from your injury. You also do not need to be snapping your ankle. Think safety. |

My diseased muscles will never return. They just atrophy/die. However, healthy muscles can be built up. With CMT it pretty much becomes a losing battle. For those who do not have CMT there is hope for the muscles to become strong again.

My drop foot was caused by a compressed nerve in my leg next to my knee. It was diagnosed by a neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan. She specializes in peripheral nerve surgery. She operated and decompredded the nerve in a 20 minute procedure. My drop foot was cured by the surgery, although I now have PN.
