I am a 53y.o. leg amputee. During my physical therapy, I hopped on one leg, (daily, for a long while, and about 200yds. at a time) using a walker. Then after I had a prosthesis, I still used a walker, bearing a lot of weight upon my arms. I am morbidly obese, so the strain on my arms tore muscles, which were not able to be repaired with surgery. The muscles have atrophied, as a result. Is this possible, due to overuse, and could I still rebuild those muscles back again-perhaps with small hand-held weights?
