suffer injuries after car accident

I had a car accident while I was in a car with my dad. I had just a minor left hip contusion but my father ended dislocating his left hip (luxatio coxae) and ortho said that he must not put left leg down for 6 months. He can sit now and ortho gave him some exercises to do but his muscles are weak a he feels pain in the injured hip .

Sorry to hear about the car accident. For your dad, the best advice to work with his orthopod. If his doc will give him the ok to start some very light nonpainful movement; he too could start with some  health. If he can only do it while seated, that is fine too. Once cleared for movement, I would have him start on the right shoulder and see if that helps.
