Exercise Physiologist
Saying you can only lift 2lbs is this with a straight leg raise or knee extension exercie? If you have capacity for moving some weight, even 2lbs, it suggests there may be some low level of function in the muscle. Re-establishing motor patterns through functional movements can assist in engaging muscles to perform tasks, squats, step ups, lunges are all examples of functional movements which rely on multiple musles working in co-ordination across more than one joint to perform the particular task. I'd be interested to hear more about what you can do with your leg and what you have tried treatment wise to this point
