The most important job of the hamstrings is their function during walking, jogging or running as the controlling muscle to the quadriceps. Whilst the quads are trying to bring the legs forwards and straighten them at the knee joint, the hamstring’s job is to slow this down towards the end of the movement to aid the change in direction that the legs require to complete the walking movement.

The main reason that stretching is good for you as a stroke survivor is that it will release tight muscles temporarily, which will make a difference to your exercise form.
It also provides very real feedback for you about the way your stroke has caused your affected side to become tighter and less flexible, so that you begin to understand why you can’t, yet, do certain things.

It is important to try to stretch your calf muscles before you do any squats, simply so that you can get a slightly greater target range of motion. The calf muscle (gastrocnemius) is the large muscle located on the back of the leg, below the knee. If the calf muscle on your affected side has really high tone and has already shortened a little bit, this stretch will work well for you. It aims to keep your ankle at 90 degrees as much and as long as possible.

I do this every morning and hold for 90 seconds before I shower but it's obviously not enough.
How many times a day is recommended because I can't walk all day without my afo
I'll advise you go natural. I decide to look out on natural herbs as it was helpful someone who was helped with cure on stroke recommend it. I got contact with the herbalist doctor and was about 9 months ago i was under treatment for 3weeks with the meds and since after taking the products everything has been fixed. I tried taking lot and searching for what would help me and nothing does help except the herbal product. You can as well reach out to him www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502066533000834
Remember that compensatory strategies helpful; but eventually get in the way of recovery. To work past the need for compensation techniques, you need to constantly question your methods — preferably on a daily, or weekly, basis.
Each morning, or each Monday, ask yourself, “What am I doing differently than before, and where do I feel ready to challenge myself?”
Never give up compensatory strategies that are necessary for your safety. And when you’re on your own, start small. For example, if you noticed that you lean your torso forward when you reach for something, see if you can sit back and extend your arm to get it.
And if you can’t do it today, try again next week. This is how you can prevent yourself from getting stuck in a rut and keep progressing.

If you are starting with no movement on your affected side, start with passive exercise; which means assisting your affected side through the movement. You can do this by using your non-affected side or by enlisting the help of someone else.
Passive exercise uses assistance to move your body if it does not have full strength, and helps you recover from by stimulating neuroplasticity (the mechanism the brain uses to rewire and heal itself after injury. It’s the key to recovery and learning new skills.
Stroke survivors that have partial movement, and wish to improve more, can continue with active exercise. (This means doing the movement on your own without help).

Any luck getting a trainer in Cornwall
I’ve been seeing one of your instructors for over a year now and still not standing.
This is a previous blog on this topic. An important aspect of stroke recovery and well worth re-sharing.
It can be easy to think that emotional changes will never improve; but research shows that you may well come to terms with the after-effects of your stroke, which may in turn help responses and mood to become more balanced.
