I meant to say something along the lines of the CNS causing muscular development (or at least halting overt degredation) in both legs. Granted it won't be the same as the leg you are working, but it will be some. I know of several people who have been recommended by their GP when they broke a leg to exercise the other for the same reason. You won't win any bodybuilding competitions, but every little helps.
The mind-muscle connection is suprising, i've seen a study in which a group of people were either told to push their little finger against a sensor thing, or think about doing it. The people who thought about doing it had up to 40% of the muscle gains that the people who did the actual task.
