weakest side changed from LT to RT !?

[mpnDec24]

Weakest side was LT from onset 1994. Fell hard on my RT "butt" 2011 then weak side became RT--RT leg, now RT foot drop; most recently RT hand. Physical therapist said he's never seen this where the weak side flips! Anybody out there experienced a similar phenomenon. I did crack my head when I fell and had a very mild concussion. Saw neuro doc after fall due to difficulty walking and severe pain RT glutteal area--no treatment.

Funky. Haven't heard of a flip per se, but I have heard of one side catching up and then surpassing the other. I think it all depends on lesion location.

I might move this to the General forum which gets more traffic if you don't mind. Let me know!

Just checked in and got your response. I believe the fall may have triggered an exacerbation and despite a visit to the neurologist may have been poorly responded to by me and the doc. So since it is what it is I have done what I can to strengthen the RT. For a year now I can no longer ride my trike--RT too weak, but use a brace or Bioness device to aid dropfoot and a walker. My focus is getting aerobic so currently looking into arm ergometer. P.T. to keep my body in alignment has been a tremendous help. Thank you for this marvelous website.

Thanks! I'd also look at a Schwinn Airdyne (or similar). You can work just arms, just legs, or both. And I love my arm trike after my legs failed to keep me moving on my leg trike (which Laura now rides).
