HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if the cause of your weakness of lower limb is neurological pathology then it is all depends upon the severity of disease, if this is geriatric etiology then you have to try this with the physiotherapy, as you said it is already year gone since you are one crutches, so you must have been familiar to this and adopted how to deal with it, hope this information helps, take care.
