Your movements seem almost effortless. My friend in the nursing home is struggling. He is 83 years old and an above the knee left leg amputee for 4 years. He doesn't get enough exercise so at 227 pounds he wobbles and has a very hard time. He was very strong before the amputation but now only uses his arms to move in his wheelchair very slowly. Ideas? You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you.
Sounds like most of your friend's problem is psychological. It's hard, but he needs a "made up mind" to succeed. For peer support, call the Amputee Coalition of America. And I'll help all I can.
I had an arctic aneurysm 6 years ago. They had to cut the oxygen off from my limbs during surgery to keep a flow to my brain. It cost me my limbs, but it saved my life!!! Thanks for watching! Please share.
@@bill2277 Wow, I can't believe that you taught yourself. This is an extremely difficulty task, and yet you make it look so easy. Thank you so much for sharing this footage with us. I already subscribed to your channel, and I will be watching all of your other videos.😃

Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm an Occupational Therapist and found this really useful. A technique I can try with my patients :)

You are a very smart gentleman. Did someone teach you or did you teach yourself?
I had to teach myself. We tried different ways in re-hab, but nothing worked sufficiently.

My therapist works with me, but we all have to find "what works for us individually!" Watch for new videos soon, and thanks for watching.
Self taught. ..mostly! Thanks for watching Hen Hen! Stay tuned for more videos soon!
