AB  - This  condition  is  an  inflammation  of  bony  tissues  secondary  to  an  infection.  Chronic  osteomyelitis  can  lead  to  surgical  removal  of  connective  tissues  and  amputations.  Chronic  infections  and  surgical  procedures  can  also  lead  to  limited  joint  and  tissue  mobility.  The  tibia  and  femur  are  most  susceptible  to  osteomyelitis  after  a  traumatic  injury.  Clients  will  benefit  from  the  potential  effects  of  exercise  to  enhance  their  immune  system  and  to  mediate  the  effects  of  stress  and  depression.  Clients  will  have  limited  activities  due  to  the  effects  of  the  infections  and  complications,  leading  to  deconditioning.1  Inflammation  of  bony  tissues  is  painful  and  limits  the  client's  ability  to  initiate  movement.
