Her muscle power should be assessed by a physiotherapist.
With that assessment it is possible to rule out the cause for not able to initiate the movement and also exercises can be suggested.
Next Steps
She should consult a physiotherapist in person or through online for complete assessment and treatment.

As you mentioned metatarsal fracture & ACL tear but recovered nice... now your next step is exercise....
1. Knee & ankle isometric exercise.
2. Knee flexion & extension with heel dragging.
3. One leg standing but after 7days.
4. Ankle-toe pump movement.
5. Leg finger movements (flexion extension)
Next Steps
If your mother suffering any other issues or pain then consult your nearest physiotherapy centre...
