1. Ankle and knee flexion and extension

The patient can dorsiflex and plantar flex both feet and do flexion and extension repeatedly. At the same time, the knee joint should be flexed and extended repeatedly to the extent that the patient can tolerate it.

2. Straight leg raising

With the help of family members, you can straighten your legs and raise them alternately. Note that you should keep your knees straight as much as possible during the raising process, which helps to exercise the function of the lower limbs.

3. Five-point support

As the disease recovers and the ability to move independently is restored, the patient can lie flat on a hard bed and support his feet, elbows and shoulders on the bed surface, use the waist to exert force, and arch the body, which helps to strengthen the waist and back muscles.
