Is Occupational Therapy Advisable For Lack Of Movement In Legs And Hands?

Hello Doctor,



Neurosurgeon has told me I am having motor neuron disease. I am unable to move my legs and hands on daily basis. For walking I have to depend on someone or something to hold. Hands also keep shaking now and then and my bone has become brittle. I was a very active person before 3 years and since three years I am having this problem. My muscles are dissolving and bones are becoming brittle. Doctor has advised me to take occupational therapy. May I know by undergoing occupational therapy will I be able to walk and write easily as before. Which are the other exercises that I can do to bring back energy in my legs and hands to work as normal. Is there any medicine that I should take to strenthen my bones, muscles in hands and legs.



Who are the occupational therapists available in Bangalore. Is there any occupational therapists who provide service at home in bangalore.

Hi Welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding your concern about your "motor neuron disease ." To me Name of the disease hardly matters , what matters most is your symptoms of your sufferings for which I have to help you .

First thing I would like to know your age ,and your life style ,that helps to give better sugestion ?
Any way I must tell you that our health depends mostly upon 'what & how& when we eat and our life style .
Magnitude of the survival advantage from improved nutrition can even be greater than the magnitude of the treatment effects being targeted in current clinical drug trials .
A diet full of processed foods will produce biochemical and metabolic conditions in your body that will decrease your bone density, so avoiding processed foods is definitely the first step in the right direction.
Take proper diet containing essential nutrients proper exercise & proper rest at right time .
One of the important strategies to achieve healthy bones& muscles is a diet rich in fresh, raw whole foods .More of Fiber, fruit, egg fish ,fish oil for Omega 3, green leafy veges . Calcium with vitamin D is important, the biological role of vitamin K2 is to help more Calcium into the proper areas in your body, such as your bones and teeth. It also helps remove Calcium from areas where it shouldn’t be, such as in your arteries and soft tissues. Eating high-quality, organic, biodynamic, locally-grown food will naturally increase your bone density and decrease your risk of developing osteoporosis.

To keep metabolism on right path to increase the strength of immune system , all supplements full of antioxidant as coconut water , lemon juice with water twice before meals , Turmeric powder , level spoon with with a cup of hot milk ,all that maximizes natural minerals so that your body has the raw materials it needs , to do what it was designed to do.
In addition, you need sun exposure to draw Vitamin D ,The best method is to rub gently apply Til or Mustard oil on your body . sit in front of morning sun for 1/2 hour ,between 6 - 8 o 'clock .
If you want strong bones ,You can’t ignore , exercises like strength training. Bone-building is a dynamic process, so you make sure you exert enough force on your bones to stimulate the osteoblasts to build new bone. Further, bone is living tissue that requires regular physical activity in order to renew and rebuild itself, so you should make exercise a lifelong commitment.

Do walk exercise - from head to to ,yoga ,pranayam - deep breatihing , Kapalbhatti / Laughing aloud . to detoxify your system to accelerate the process of recovery . Don't over do .
Contipation is the mother of all illnesses so is mental stress /worry /anger
Above regimen will surely gradualy , help you to lead happy healthy life ahead

The condition is REGULARITY
