Front No-Knuckling Training Sock Walks:Apply sock to affected limb and have patient walk slowly for two to five minutes. If deficits are bilateral, apply to only one leg at a time to begin. You may progress to longer walks or using on both hind legs at the same time once patient is ready for this increase.

Enhanced Cavaletti Poles:Apply sock to affected limb during the Cavaletti poles exercise. If a patient is still hitting bars, this will add an extra reminder to pick that foot up.

Enhanced Figure 8s or Cone Weaving:Apply sock to affected limb during more difficult walking exercises. This will assist in correct paw placement as you advance your workouts.

Treadmill Patterning:Apply sock to affected limbs. This will greatly enhance any patterning exercise using a land or underwater treadmill.
