Modified hand push-ups strengthen the upper arms, thus helping the client to ambulate using crutches. An exercise regimen to strengthen the upper arms typically includes flexion and extension of the arms and wrists, raising and lowering weights with the hands, squeezing a ball or spring grip, and performing modified hand push-ups in bed. Isotonic exercise builds flexibility and stamina more than strength. Clients use parallel bars as hand rails to gain practice in ambulating. A tilt table is a device that helps clients adjust to being upright and bearing weight on their feet.
