What are the exercises for calf muscle atrophy?

For patients with right calf muscle atrophy, necessary rehabilitation exercises can effectively avoid calf muscle adhesion, and rehabilitation exercises can also promote the recovery of atrophied calf muscles. When exercising, you can choose dumbbells, sandbags, or rubber strips. It is generally believed that during rehabilitation exercises, the maximum load on the muscles should not exceed 2/3 of the muscles' maximum tolerance.

Choose exercise methods in a targeted manner. There are many exercise methods for patients with calf muscle atrophy, but in order to achieve the goal of increasing muscle as quickly as possible, a common principle must be followed: when exercising, patients with calf muscle atrophy should gradually increase the amount of exercise without increasing the number of exercises and exercise time, so that the muscles feel tired quickly and achieve the purpose of muscle exercise.

Each exercise should be done 10 times continuously. If it exceeds 10 times, you need to increase the weight of the equipment. Or you can do two or three times continuously each time, and hold each time for 6 to 10 seconds. If it exceeds that, you need to increase the weight of the equipment.

Master the rhythm of exercise. There are certain requirements on the time intervals for exercise for patients with calf muscle atrophy. Only when the muscles have enough rest time can fatigue be fully eliminated, consumed nutrients can be fully compensated, and through overcompensation, the muscles can gradually hypertrophy.

On the contrary, if you exercise too frequently, your muscles will not get enough rest and your muscle strength will not increase. Therefore, patients with calf muscle atrophy should pay attention to the rhythm of exercise, and the more the better is not necessarily true.

Patients with calf muscle atrophy, in addition to actively undergoing rehabilitation exercises, should maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood, try to avoid mental stress and anxiety, and try not to be irritable and pessimistic. If the mood becomes dull and depressed after the calf muscles atrophy, the excitation process of the cerebral cortex will be inhibited, thereby accelerating the atrophy of the calf muscles.
