Stroke, medically known as cerebrovascular accident, is an acute cerebrovascular disease. It is a group of diseases that cause brain tissue damage due to rupture of blood vessels in the brain or the inability of blood to flow into the brain due to blood vessel obstruction, including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
Can you recover after a stroke? How was the recovery?
According to statistics, after a stroke:
· 10% of people recover completely;
· 10% of people require 24-hour care;
· 14.5% will die;
· 25% have mild disabilities;
· 40% are moderately or severely disabled;
What should you do during stroke recovery?
The best period for stroke rehabilitation is only the first 6 months after the initial onset of the disease, and the first 3 months are the golden period for recovery of motor function. Patients and their families should learn rehabilitation knowledge and training methods to reduce the impact of stroke on their lives.
initial recovery
The smaller the injury, the faster the recovery, and the earlier rehabilitation begins, the better the functional recovery will be. At this stage, we should encourage the patient to move as soon as possible to relieve the excessive increase in muscle tension of the affected limb and prevent complications such as joint contracture. Start by changing how we lie, sit, and stand. For example: eating, getting out of bed and increasing the range of motion of the upper and lower limbs.
medium recovery
At this stage, patients often show very high muscle tension, so rehabilitation treatment focuses on suppressing abnormal muscle tension and strengthening the patient's autonomous exercise training.
facial nerve exercises
1. Deep abdominal breathing: Inhale deeply through the nose to the limit of abdominal bulge; after staying for 1 second, exhale slowly through the mouth;
2. Shoulder and neck movements: between breathing, raise and lower your shoulders, and tilt our neck to the left and right sides;
3. Trunk movement: between breathing, raise our hands to lift our trunk and tilt it to both sides;
4. Oral movements: followed by oral movements of cheek expansion and cheek retraction;
5. Tongue extension movement: The tongue moves forward and left, and the mouth is opened to inhale and make a "pop" sound.
Swallowing training exercises
We could Freeze ice cubes, and put it into mouth to stimulate the oral mucosa, tongue and throat, and swallow slowly. Initially, once a day, after a week, we can gradually increase it to 2 to 3 times.
joint training exercises
We could interlace and clench our fingers, and the thumb of the hemiplegic hand is placed on top, maintaining a certain degree of abduction and moving around the joint.
It is necessary to strengthen the training of some activities that need to be frequently used in daily life (such as dressing, toileting, transfer ability, etc.) for returning to family and society. Appropriate assistive devices and orthotics can also be appropriately selected during this period. Improve their daily living abilities.
The intelligent walking aid robot is developed to meet the rehabilitation needs of millions of stroke patients. It is used to assist stroke patients in daily rehabilitation training. It can effectively improve the gait of the affected side, enhance the effect of rehabilitation training, and is used to assist patients with insufficient hip joint strength.
The intelligent walking assistance robot is equipped with a hemiplegic mode to provide assistance to the unilateral hip joint. It can be set to have left or right unilateral assistance. It is suitable for patients with hemiplegia to assist walking on the affected side of the limb.
