    What exercises should one do if they are totally disabled and incapacitated?

    Dr. Himabindu Sreenivasulu

    MBBS · 1 years of exp

    If someone is totally disabled and incapacitated, their exercise options may be limited, and it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise routine. In such cases, gentle range-of-motion exercises or passive exercises may be recommended to maintain joint flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness. These exercises can be performed with the assistance of a caregiver or physical therapist and may include gentle stretching of the arms, legs, and joints to promote circulation and reduce the risk of contractures. Breathing exercises can also be beneficial for lung health and to prevent respiratory complications. However, the specific exercises will depend on the individual's condition and abilities, so it's essential to seek guidance from a healthcare professional to design a safe and suitable exercise program.
