One of the largest issues we deal with when having a myositis disease is rising from a seated position. The proximal muscles, those nearest the core of the body, are affected causing weakness in muscles used to stand.
This video talks a little about how we can help ourselves get up easier from a seated position or a wheelchair.
NOTE: Myositis Support and Understanding (MSU) reminds you to coordinate your exercise program with your doctor and physical therapist. Safety is a must to avoid injury. Do not try this on your own without training from a physical therapist. This is informational only and not intended as medical advice.
