Different exercise methods in different periods
1. Acute phase
1. Lying position: Patients with lumbar disc herniation should sleep on a hard bed, with knees slightly bent when lying on their back, with a small pillow under the N nest, relax the whole body, and let the waist naturally fall on the bed. When lying on your side, bend your knees and hips, and place your upper limb on the pillow naturally.
2. Stand up: Stand up from the seat, move one lower limb from the side of the chair to the back, straighten the waist, and stand up after adjusting the center of gravity.
3. Sitting position: The waist should be straight in the sitting position and the chair should have a hard back. The chair legs are equal to the knee-to-foot height of the patient. When sitting, the knees are slightly higher than the hips. If the chair surface is too high, you can put a pedal under your feet.
4. Get out of bed: Change from lying position to prone position, support both upper limbs strongly, extend waist, and slowly move the body's center of gravity to the side of the bed. One lower limb first touches the ground, and then the other lower limb moves down again, holding the head in hand. Stand up.
2. Recovery period
Self-exercise during the recovery period to increase the muscle strength of the lower back, one can increase the lumbar spine mobility, and the other can increase the stability of the lumbar spine.
1. Leg press: Sit on the bed, slightly bend one knee, straighten the other leg, lean forward and press the torso toward the straight leg, then switch to the other leg. This action can also be performed in a standing position, with the lower limbs on the back of the chair in front.
2. Crawling and knees touching the elbows, knees and upper limbs propped up and prone: The waist is relaxed and slowly sinking, after 10 repetitions, one lower limb is straightened, and the knees are bent to make it reach the ipsilateral elbow joint as much as possible. Repeat 15 times.
3. Leg lift in lateral position: In the lateral position, the upper leg can be straightened, the lower knee is slightly bent, the upper leg is raised sideways, and then slowly lowered, repeated dozens of times.
4. Tuck the knees and touch the chest: in the supine position, bend both knees, hold the knees to make them as close to the chest as possible, but be careful not to arch the back away from the bed.
