Hi. Im an AKA, left leg. And for a few months now, i feel pain in right knee, ankle and bottom of foot. Is there any exercises you recomendó to end less tire by the end of the week?

Hello,

I'm a below knee amputee, was bedridden for 1 year the muscles in my amputated legs were fully torn because of the accident. My left hand and amputated right leg went stiff. Although I've recovered my hand movements, my right knee is still not bending. The right knee at first was straight as a pole, but now (3 years in) gives almost 40-50° bend. Haven't reached 90° yet. Hence I have to take my prosthetics off each time I get into a car. And I can't ride as pillion on any bike or scooter.

Any tips on how to overcome this, I am really looking forward to get back to riding my bike .

Thank you,

[PEDRO]
