Two months of bed rest for intertrochanteric fracture of femur generally refers to two months of conservative treatment, during which ankle pump exercise, contraction of gluteus muscle, quadriceps muscle contraction and other exercises can be carried out.
1. Ankle pump exercise: hook the foot, lasting about 5 seconds, and then straighten the leg, lasting about 5 seconds, each time to do 3-5, every hour to do two or three times, if the calf, ankle joint is still a little swollen, you can always insist on doing.
2. Contraction of the gluteal muscles: consciously tense the gluteal muscles, hold for 5 seconds, and then relax, do 10 each time, do three or four times a day.
3. Quadriceps contraction: contract the muscles in front of the thighs, try to force to keep the knee straight, hold for 5 to 10 seconds. Repeat the training 10 times in two minutes, rest one minute, and then repeat until the thigh muscles feel fatigue.
The above training helps to strengthen the muscle strength of the lower limbs and avoid muscle atrophy and varicose veins in the lower limbs caused by prolonged bed rest. It is recommended that patients train under the guidance of a doctor.
