Hansa Kanuga
Consultant Physiotherapist,
Apollo clinic,
Vadodara.

Q: I sustained fractures in my right leg, at the lower end of femur knee joint in a car accident. My legs muscles are loose and very soft. I cannot stand because my muscles are loose and not working. I was operated 8 years ago. Please suggest a medicine for muscle rebuild?

A:There is no medicine that I can suggest you to build up your muscles. You should go to a physiotherapy clinic and do mobilising and strengthening exercises and gradually get on to coordination and balancing exercises and then to gait training. Based on your evaluation, your therapist will decide if any modality would be used.
