When Elise is not with the Rehab, OT and Physio folk she has an exercise program to follow.
They are aimed at muscle strengthening and also to help make nerve connections in areas, like her legs, that don't work yet.
Elise's upper body was impacted by the Myelitis. She is still finding hand writing hard work and needs frequent resting if she is writing a card for example.
Below is a video link of her doing two exercises.

One with a simple exercise wheel to increase upper body strength. Elise finds this quite easy.
The various stretching exercises are very challenging. She has made huge headway with this exercise and was not able to do anything like is some time ago.
