Cerebral infarction rehabilitation treatment, 4 ways to make you healthier

The incidence of cerebral infarction is increasing and tends to be younger. In order to get rid of this disease as soon as possible, patients can do these four exercises: active movement, passive movement, maintaining a good posture, and training in bed, and the effect is absolutely good.

1. Active activities. Try to let patients with cerebral infarction do active exercises. Muscle contraction provides a good pumping effect to reduce edema. The patient can be asked to do some activities with the affected limb raised, such as finger grasping, grasping a wooden stick, twisting a towel, etc.

2 Passive activities. Passive movements should be gentle so as not to cause pain or aggravate pain. The patient can use the healthy limb to lift the affected limb, or perform forearm pronation and supination, wrist dorsiflexion and extension exercises within the pain-free range to maintain the normal range of motion of the joint of the affected limb. Paying attention to preventing the occurrence of shoulder-hand syndrome can reduce patients' pain and economic burden. When sitting in a wheelchair, you should ensure that the affected limb does not hang on one side of the wheelchair. You can place your hand on the armrest or the wheelchair table. You should try to avoid infusing the affected hand to avoid excessive traction on the hand joint and accidental injury. Doing so can not only prevent the occurrence of shoulder-hand syndrome, but also prevent the disease from getting worse even after it occurs, reduce disability, and improve the patient's quality of life.

3. Maintain a good posture. The so-called good posture is a good anti-spasm posture. Except for rehabilitation training, patients should maintain a good posture of their hemiplegic limbs at other times. When lying supine or on the affected side, the elbow should be extended and the wrist dorsiflexed. When lying on the healthy side, the shoulder should be flexed to about 90°, the elbow extended, and a rolled towel should be held in the hand to maintain the dorsiflexion of the wrist. Good posture can improve venous return and reduce swelling in the hands.

4. Bed training. Lay the foundation for standing and walking. Such as: turning over, sitting up, sitting balance three-level training, hip, knee, shoulder, ankle and other joint anti-spasm training and double or single leg bridge training, and then sitting to standing three-level balance training, the focus is on the training of shifting the center of gravity to the affected side.
