Hello,

I think the problems are rising because of not having enough muscle property to be maintained. Doing a passive range of motion of the hip knee and ankle should be helpful. I will advise doing physiotherapy and it will get him optimum results.

Since there is tightness happening it's all because of the immobilizing the muscular system. Kindly have a good physiotherapist to help him out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
