My dad (age 69) had a hip replacement in June 09. Following 2 dislocations within a couple of weeks, the surgeons replaced part of the hip last Friday. Whilst sitting yesterday, the new hip became dislocated. Unsurprisingly he's become very anxious. He's still in hospital (I'm sure the best place). They're talking of imobilising him for 3 weeks.
1. Are there any exercises he can do whilst "imobilised" to stop muscle wastage.
2. When he is able to move - can you recommend some physio exersises?
3. Any other words of advice, wisdom, would be appreciated.
