How To Correct Walking Posture Due A Problem With Left Ankle Post Surgery?
I had surgery on both heels a few years back and have pins/plates in both feet. Recently, my left ankle has gotten worse after working a few hours on it. Before hand; my shoe would give me enough support and keep my foot straight rather than walking on the side; now, my foot, even with a shoe on, will tend to lean outwards and i ll end up walking on the side. What should I do for this ?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per the history you need a thorough rehabilitation of the ankle like the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Using a wobble board or a rocker bottom board during the training of the ankle joint will help improve the coordination between the muscular system and also will help to improve the gait mechanism.
