Strengthening: Not exactly sure under from what context you ask your question; out of bed? From a chair? While walking? Assuming your mother has been evaluated by a physician, it is important will be to maintain good core strength. This can be done with the aid of a physical therapist who works with the elderly. Her doctor can provide the prescription to see the physical therapist.
