My husband confined to a wheel chair and having home care Pt nurse Ot nurse Rn speech therapist.. learning to gain muscle in his legs so he can walk.... he has Parkinsons... lymphoma,, 4 th stage of kidney failure.... his abdomon is extended and hard.. he is uncomfortable...
It’s quite difficult to gain muscle mass as his general condition is weak, also due to multiple comorbidities. He can consult a physiotherapist and start stretching exercises which will help a bit to gain weight.
