Hey guys, I an hoping you can help here
One of my friends lost use of on arm when he got a viral infection
https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/parsonage-turner-syndrome/
http://nerve.wustl.edu/nd_parsonage.php
After reading those links, it looks like he hada very severe case
He lost total use of his arm for about 4 months. He has slowly been getting more movement back.
He said that it is approaching 12 months and has almost gotten full range of motion back, but he has atrophied more than he can explain.
He is doing physical therapy and he therapis told him that is OK to start doing curls, in addition to just doing simple arm movements with no weights. The therapist said it is important for him to build as much strength as quickly as possible so he doesn't hurt himself and movement returns more thinking that he is back to 100%.
If one of you were only doing curls as your workout regiment, what would you think of the following;
Curls: 10 reps 3lbs
Other arm excersize with no weight or band
Curls: 10 reps 5 Lbs
Other arm excersize with no weight or band
Curls: 10 reps 3lbs
Other arm excersize with no weight or band
Curls:5 reps 8lbs
Thank you ahead of time from my friend Michael
