I am going to slowly pull out of the Community Physio sessions and have set him up with a programme for self-management. It works well, but ... for hamstring stretches.
Problem 1 : He cannot achieve long sitting independently and has got
Problem 2: very limited grip strength.

Can do:
In supine, he can flex his right hip and then hook up behind the thigh with his right arm (elbow), but that's as far as he can go.???
Unable to do the same with the other leg, as tone there is even higher.
His medication has recently been reviewed with the comment that nothing could be done in that regard.
Anyone????
Regards,

Sorry, couldn't identify problems clearly
