Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. How should I exercise if I have muscle atrophy due to a femur fracture?Doctor's answer:
The muscles have once again swelled up, and it might be too late to improve them through exercise. Acupuncture, massage therapy, moxibustion, and electrotherapy can enhance local blood circulation. Weakness lifting legs, leg extensions, and squats can be performed. It is recommended to exercise under the guidance of a coach at the gym. Other exercises include lunges, running, walking, seated horizontal leg presses, barbell squats, and seated leg extensions.Eat more foods rich in calcium and bone-healthy nutrients, such as dairy products, salmon, leafy greens, figs, grapefruits, and nuts.
