Hello,
The fact that she can not move by herself means that her skeletal system is very weakened and there is not too much to be done. It is necessary performing also some tests in order to investigate for the possible causes underlying the fact that she is not walking:
- A brain CT scan
- A cardiac ultrasound
- Nerve conduction studies
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Blood electrolytes.
You should discuss with her doctor on the above issues. If her hip joints are suffering from arthritis, surgery may be an option, although at her age it may be too risky.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
