Physiotherapy plays a major role in the management of muscle wasting. It can help with muscle weakness as they are trained to maximize and improve function. This includes optimizing the physical abilities through movement and exercise.
Even if patients can’t actively move certain joints in their body, they can still do exercises wearing a splint or brace.
