Flint Rehab is a web source that I use for some guidance. They are big on rehab, you can check the out at the following website and I found some information that may be helpful.
Your brain is changing throughout your entire life.
Neuroplasticity — the process your brain uses to rewire itself — happens all throughout your life, even in the very late stages.
So, why would your brain suddenly stop doing this after it sustains an injury?
An injury like a stroke is actually an incentive for your brain to continue rewiring itself.
Neuroplasticity is abundant — you just need to know how to harness its full potential.
And that’s through “massed practice,” or high repetition of the task that you want to get better at.
For example, if you want to improve foot drop after a stroke, you need to practice foot drop exercises with high repetition on a consistent basis.
Progress might happen slowly, but rest assured that your brain is on your side.
Your brain likes to be efficient, and the more you practice using your affected foot, the more incentive your brain will have to get better at moving your foot.
In the meantime, it’s important to use a foot drop brace to protect yourself as you navigate your daily life.
An AFO brace also helps you walk with better posture and form. That way you’re not hiking your leg to compensate.
We recommend using our foot drop brace, Flex AFO, to protect your safety throughout the day. Then, be sure to keep practicing those foot drop exercises.
Your brain is on your side. It just needs your help to provide the right stimulus for the rewiring process.

I was able to score mine for $149 (regularly $199) and I had to get a pair of lace-up gym shoes as well, looking forward to additional progress with this brace.
