Exercise for stroke patients

[bonbon85 8]

OK so here's my q. My mom who has had a stroke back in 2006, who also has diabetes, hypertension, triple bypass and had part of her foot removed due to poor circulation from diabetes is trying to have gastric bypass surgery. So does not get around so well and all she really does is sit in her butt. I took her a pair of my old weights to use, i doubt if she uses them. Does anybody have some ideas on what she could do? I've been looking for an exercise bike, but no luck. She really can't do what i've been doing and her balance is terrible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jody Stolove's chair dancing dvds (seated exercise) might be a place to begin.
