Awww... I'm sorry about your female. Probably not much you can do except make sure she has stable and easy-to-climb or grasp structures in her cage to help facilitate her getting around if she chooses. And make sure she is able to access her food... or it is able to have access to get to her so she can grab it without having to chase or find it. Maybe someone with more experience may have some tips or suggestions. Good luck with her... I hope she does OK.

That is very sad. I'm afraid that there's nothing anyone can do to correct what came out not right. Is she able to walk, eat, and climb still?

She cannot walk properly.Im very sure it cannot climb.I will handfeed it from now on

maybe it would be better for the mantis if you euthanized her... if she cannot even walk.

It happens to all of us from time to time. Don't be sad because if you stay in this hobby it will happen again.
