Exercises to help fight leg athropy

1 Dec 2016, 4:32 AM

Can anyone recommend exercises for SCI paraplegic on how to increase bulk for the legs?

I do long standing for 15 minutes and another 20 minutes using the ergociser. However, legs are becoming thinner. Anything else we can do to counter athropy?
