in femur lengthening over 2~3~ months, you do PT at home on your own? and is that good enough?

As for whether it's 'good enough', I guess that depends on your dedication to do the exercises, as well as the knowledge to make sure you're actually doing them correctly. There's not much done at a PT session that couldn't in theory be done at home IMO - so long as you can stretch all the major muscles that's the main thing, and as for treadmills/biking etc, a gym membership can take care of that.

HOWEVER there does in reality seem to be a pretty clear correlation between those who attend their physio sessions regularly and do well, vs those who often skip them and take longer to recover.



ok, i just wondered if patient can do the rehab at home, aside from his enthusiasm, during the lengthening period bc he can't freely go outside during this period.

Many thanks, people.  I am quite good at living trapped inside home, just i was wondering if technically it is possible to do it at home, and now it seems possible according to your answers. That's enough for my preparation. Thanks again
