What Types of Simple Exercises Can Be Incorporated?
Several types of simple exercises can be incorporated into a patient's care plan, including:
Range of motion exercises: These exercises involve moving joints through their full range, helping to maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness. Isometric exercises: These exercises involve contracting muscles without moving the joints, which can help maintain strength without stressing the body. Breathing exercises: Important for patients with respiratory issues, these exercises help improve lung capacity and oxygenation. Leg lifts and ankle pumps: Simple exercises that promote circulation in the lower extremities, particularly important for bedridden patients.
