you are very kind to your father. have a physical therapist come to your home (his doctor will need to arrange a referral). the physical therapist will review his medical problems and design a special exercise regime for him. he can also work on his weight at the same time. men can be very stubborn so you will need to convince him to participate. you know your father so do what you can to get him to move and not remain in bed the rest of his life.
my dad is 73 obese & recently bedridden. are there any exercises to help him regain muscle? . he needs a hip replacement & has a hernia that needs to be addressed but doctors always wanted him to lose weight first. . recently he fell and is now afraid to get out of bed. i'm hoping to find exercises to help rebuild muscle so that he does not deteriorate even more. is there hope he could regain quality of life?
