Hamstring


Has anyone on the list heard of cutting the hamstring muscle in the leg to help the leg straighten? My father who has Parkinson's, went to the doctor today, and it was suggested as a possible help, so he could walk better. He walks with a walker with assistance. He always has his left leg bent, and he is up on his toes. His right leg is straight. He has PT 3 xs a week.
 
Thank you ,
