How To Regain Balance And Walking Gait With History Of Heart Attack Associated Paralysis?

my balance and gait has been diagon













My balance and gait have been diagnosed as "drop foot" and has been a source of trouble just barely able to walk or stand steadily. This has been a problem since a heart attack and left my right side somewhat paralyzed. I have been taking 900 mg of gabapentin daily and walking with a brace. This has been going on for 1 1/2 years and has been modernly successful. Can you suggest medications or neurological treatments that could restore my balance and walking gait?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, you are too late or I think you might have given the right treatment at the time of stroke, now it is long being gone, and only one option remained now and that is physiotherapy, you have to continue it if you are already on it, and if you do not then try it, I hope you can understand this, take care and have nice day.
