Patient's question:
Because recently I always feel weak when walking and notice that the muscles in my legs are soft and flabby, the doctor at the hospital said it's due to muscle atrophy, so I want to understand how to exercise the thigh muscles to prevent atrophy.Doctor's answer:
Methods to exercise and prevent thigh muscle atrophy include: physical therapy, such as strength training exercises, etc. In addition, there is also rehabilitation therapy: targetedly determining the exercise methods, or taking Chinese herbal medicine for treatment. Pay attention to dietary habits, and persist in doing static contractions of the quadriceps and calf muscles on both sides. This involves lying or sitting, keeping both lower limbs straight, and forcefully tensing the thighs.
