Do you get Range of Motion?

if so who peforms it for you?

I've been getting it on my legs for 17 yrs.
At home & in the Nursing Home.

The Home Health Care I've been with for a yr.
says no more. :unsure:
I don't know what to do.

It was brought to their attention by a new care giver,
and the D.O.N. says she wasn't aware I was getting it,
and they can't delegate it like my other H.H.C.'s did.

My legs will really hurt if they just stop.

I put calls out for another HHC,
praying they will delegate rom.

Do you have Home Health and get rom?

my G/f helps with mine, in the legs, then I do my shouders, wrist, hand,foot,ankle my self some times I need help with my foot/ ankle-- I'll stretch to far and and I loose my ballance, the then doing squats some times after 10 my knees lock and it's all I can do to get back up, theworst is prying my hand open so that I can streach it, I do my hand about 30 times aday, Idon't think pecking at these keys helps any. do you have any of those rubber straps? I use one alot of times for my leg to try for tone and I incorperate it in other exersises to help stretch

I get R.O.M every morning on my legs, ankles, arms ans wrists which is done by my nurses from HHC. I do my shoulders myself and have excersize equiptment down stairs but I have to get a family member to assist me with that.
