Exercise & Walking

Hello Everyone, I'd like to gather feedback on exercises to strenghten the thigh and leg muscles. I have been in a wheelchair for just over a year, but would like to regain the ability to walk. I can stand and take a few steps dragging feet, but have foot drop and need aids to stand. Has anyone gone from the wheelchair back to walking? What are the exercises/resources that worked for you? Thank you

Are u having physio ur doc, ms nurse or neuro should be able to refer u to a neuro rehab team or at least a physio. On a personal note chair based yoga/Pilates/weights are all good for strengthing if ur core, muscles, posture & flexibility ( resistance bands are also good) can get em cheap on Amazon/eBay start off small & build up. All the bestπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Very intrigued to hear how you go on Nora! Seems like I'm .. ahem... A few steps behind you! But I'm keen to learn the ways to get better too!
