Q. How long should my brother exercise to recover his congenitally affected legs?
Hi doctor,
My 20-year-old brother has been unable to walk since birth. When he tries to move his legs using crutches, it deviates in the opposite direction. How to manage his condition? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your brother has weak legs due to a congenital disorder. Consult a physiotherapist for therapy. Ask him to do some exercises twice daily for three to four months to increase the blood flow. Your brother will start walking soon.
