Hello,
As I would like to know if the wound is healed. If healed now what is the status of the movements of the foot. Are you able to move the feet up and down easily along with toes? If so then doing gentle massage over the wound region to make it flexible. Slow stretching of the calf muscles and strengthening exercises of the thigh and leg muscles should help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
