First power, then control

Twice today, whilst sitting in the chair, Jo's left foot ended up pushed forward of the foot rest. I didn't see how it got there but the only way it can have done so is under its own volition, friction and the edges of the footplate would prevent it just “flopping” there. At one stage I was helping Jo put her trousers back on after a session with the bedpan and her foot lifted itself and pushed forward into the trouser leg. Once gain Jo was unaware but it certainly seems as if the muscles in the leg are working instinctively or subconsciously, call it what you will. In the physiotherapy session the physiotherapist said this is how it works, first the muscle power comes back, then the control of the muscle power. Pushing against Jo's leg while lay on the bed I can feel it resisting the pressure of my hand, stronger than last weekend too.
