My Uncle needs to go to surgery on his hip/leg. He can't take it because he doesn't have enough muscle mass on his leg/glute/around his hip/knee.

I put him on a high protein diet but the problem is the exercise.
He can't "bend" his knee without being in extreme pain, in fact I don't think he's allowed to.

I need some exercises that focus on his legs without putting any strain on his knees or force him to PUSH himself up.

This means that Squats and lunges along with their variations aren't possible.

The only real exercise that came to mind is walking around in the pool for an hour every day.
I need some ideas. Will you help me out?

da fuck. go talk to the doct

Electronic muscle simulator?

Thanks, I'll go consult with the surgeon about what kind of exercise/training he should be doing.

get this man on a cycle


but only glute/hammy exercises i can think of would be straight leg deadlifts and glute kickbacks, google those if theyre managable.

Got told that "straight leg deadlifts" are too hard for him. Too much pain on his hip.

I considered putting him on a stationary cycle. Thanks for the suggestions.

He could try monster walks or something like that

I got some good ideas but not enough for a plan.
I appreciate all your ideas and I'm still looking for more.
