How long will it take for the high muscle tension in hemiplegia to decrease?

The symptom of hemiplegic muscle hypertonia is difficult to treat. In order to solve the muscle spasms caused by this symptom, we should relieve it through rehabilitation training. High muscle tension in hemiplegia can cause symptoms such as muscle twitching and stiffness, and can also cause chicken claw hands in patients. We should relax the muscles through traction. For specific rehabilitation training, please refer to the following.

Why do hemiplegic patients need to reduce muscle tension?

The reduction of muscle tone in hemiplegic patients is to solve the spasm phenomenon in the patient's body. Under normal circumstances, muscle tone will maintain a balanced state. If hemiplegia causes increased muscle tone, it will lead to increased mutual strength between muscles, causing muscle twitching and stiffness, thus producing what we call spasm. Hypotonia occurs in the early stage of the disease, when the limbs are weak and feel soft like cotton wool, and there is no ability to move independently or maintain posture. Abnormally increased muscle tone occurs 1-3 months after the onset of the disease, mostly manifested as spasms and muscle stiffness. These are all sequelae caused by upper motor neuron lesions in the nervous system. The tendons are not stretched and moved, the muscles are stiff and difficult to move, the joints cannot move in a normal full range of motion, and the elbows and wrists cannot be extended, resulting in a series of problems such as chicken claw hands and fingers that are clenched and cannot be released. If not treated for a long time, tendon atrophy, reduced joint mobility, joint contracture, inability to move, and even disability may occur.

How can hemiplegic patients reduce muscle tension and recover normally?

Correct rehabilitation: Relax tense muscles and tendons through stretching, and perform autonomous muscle activities; Xin Miracle Walker: Perform functional activities on multiple joints and muscles throughout the body, stretch tense tendons, allow patients to independently complete the functions of elbow and wrist extension, perform active ankle movements, stretch the Achilles tendon, perform knee flexion activities, and restore normal activities of various muscles and joints.
