Brief Answer:
Physical therapist will help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
To tone up the thigh muscles squatting plyometric squatting lunges with dumbells and calf raises are the best options.
All these exercises are best done under the guidance of your physical therapist for best results. You can also do split squat.
Stand with back facing a chair (about 2 feet away), hands on hips, and bend left leg behind you to place top of foot on chair seat.
Squat, bending right leg 90 degrees with knee over ankle. Make it harder: After each full squat, do a half squat, bending just 45 degrees.
Do 15 to 20 reps. Switch legs and repeat. Do 2 to 3 sets.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
