The main purpose is to improve the patient’s lower limb muscle strength and balance ability, reduce the occurrence of postural hypotension, and improve the ability of aerobic exercise. During the exercise, it is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothes as well as suitable sports shoes, the body should be naturally relaxed, do not hold your breath or over-exchange your breath, and if respiratory difficulty occurs, it can be stopped at any time, and oxygen can be inhaled when necessary, and the process of stepping is very easy, and the patient himself can increase the effect of the activity by increasing the frequency if he feels too easy. The process of stepping is very relaxing, if the patient feels too relaxed, he/she can increase the frequency to increase the effect of the activity, but all the activities are limited to the absence of obvious fatigue and respiratory discomfort on the next day.
