Another way to get up that I have to use: These techniques in the video won't help me. Most of any of these kind of videos will show people lifting themselves up with their legs. But, you never see one that shows what to do for people who cannot lift themselves up with their legs because of weakness. I cannot use my legs to lift myself up, even by a sturdy object because you're still using your legs and I can't do that. My legs are too weak and I don't have strength in them to use them. So, I have to PULL myself up with my arms. I get in a crawling postion and crawl to a sturdy table or couch or whatever and I put my elbow and forearm on the object and lean on my arm and use it to pull myself up by having to drag one leg up (can't push with the leg, but have to drag it), then that leg (and that position) helps to pull and finally be able to have a little push with the other leg and slowly get into a standing position. It would be good to have videos like that for people who can't push up with their legs, but I can't ever find any. I guess I could make one, lol. Actually, sometimes these videos make it look like they don't really have weakness. I know they're actors and are just trying to show what to do, but it seems people who can push with legs don't really have weakness. Unless they have just a little weakness, which possibly can happen?
DONALD1951 At 9:04 minutes in video, the maneuver is longer doable because cannot bring the leg forward to front towards hip due to weakness in hip and quad. Became issue for me in 2017, 12 year point of having sibm, 58 yrs old male.
This is a good video for muscle weakness. My weakness is a little more advanced now so much of this does not work for me now. But for the beginning of the muscle weakness stages this video has helpful reccomendations.
I have all my feeling in my legs and feet can't walk one day I can walk good but next day I can't my hands in my shoulder are so sore I can hardly hold on to anything
My neck is weak so if I fall I cannot lift my head up. Hips are weak so I can’t roll or scoot Arms are weak so I can’t pull or push Buttocks are weak so I can’t lift up Legs are weak so I can’t crawl

How are you doing with your condition?
Good video for early stages of myositis but not useful in later stages of disease.
Put it on the board please explain. Does it get progressively worse?

Brian Marron thank you Brian
This is an excellent video. I have a variant of Muscular Dystrophy and this video is really helpful.
If there's something like a shopping cart handy, tip it over -- it's pretty stable when it's lying on its side.

Felicia A. Carney does it get progressively worse?

This was excellent information. Thank you so much for this helpful video.
Thank you for trying to help. As soon as the 7:00 mark, the lady used her Hulk upper arm muscles. I can't do that. Its not practical.
