Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You can do dumbell curl, chair dips, pullovers with dumbells, power squats, push ups on a ball, plank press, etc to help build up your arm muscles. It is best to start all these exercises gradually after adequate warming up exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
