These are probably a good number of the exercises.

  Subject: [TMIC] exercises for disabled


  I have to share this:  I found a book at the library, and since have ordered 
it (used, for about $3) from Amazon.com.  It's called 'Tone-A-Metrics: The 
Bedroom Body Shape-Up', by Brian Heir.  It's all exercises you can do lying on 
your bed.  He originally designed most of the exercises for his brother who was 
paralyzed (C-6 quadriplegic) when he was 18, in a diving accident.  The brother 
has since won several medals in the Paralympic Games.  After that, several 
others asked him for help, such as people who were too heavy to do exercises 
standing up, etc. 

  I've been using it since I had to stop PT due to the extreme pain in my hip, 
from overcompensating for my other leg, which is still not too functional from 
the TM.  But I didn't want to lose everything I'd gained at PT.  It's an uphill 
battle (don't we all know!) but it's better than not even trying!
