During my rehab, the bike was one that I was always put on for at least 15 min. a day but I think that it was to build strength. However, if you remember Channey and the reporter (David ?) who died due to blood clots after remaining inactive after hours of sitting and not stretching the leg, the leg movement should increase circuilation.
What kind of puppies do you have? ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Throne To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: 3/16/2007 10:12:12 PM Subject: [TMIC] Swelling legs Frank or others, It was recently suggested to me that I try using a exerciser similar to an electric bicycle for at least daily or more if possible to stimulate the blood flow and will reduce leg swelling. Does this sound reasonable? This apparatus cost around $100.00 You sit on a chair and pedal along with the electric motor. I used one years ago after knee surgery for passive muscle stimulation. So what do you think? Larry in Oklahoma who only has three puppies left. Live Search Maps find all the local information you need, right when you need it.
