How to recover from hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction

Hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction is a clinical symptom, which is closely related to cerebrovascular disease and also to stroke. The treatment of hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction is very important, especially rehabilitation treatment, which requires rehabilitation treatment in many aspects such as diet and lifestyle, and patients should also drink more water.

1. Diet

First of all, eat more foods rich in calcium and vitamin A, such as liver, carrots, etc. Second, eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains to increase the intake of dietary fiber, drink plenty of water, eat a small amount of salt, and adopt a low-salt diet. Do not eat fried foods. Eat small meals frequently.

2. Exercise

When you are able to move a little, you can sit on a stool with the help of your family and do activities such as leg lifts, knee stretches and standing with support to prevent cardiovascular dysfunction. When accompanied by a family member, the patient can walk forward with one hand supporting the other and holding a cane with the other. Note that the exercise time should not be too long at the beginning, so as not to be too tired and counterproductive.

3. Daily life movement training

This includes daily actions such as washing face, dressing, eating, etc. If the condition is better, you can also practice doing some simple housework such as washing dishes, watering flowers, folding clothes, etc. After the condition improves, you will be able to walk on your own. It is beneficial to further restore the function of joints and muscles throughout the body.

4. Massage

For patients who are bedridden in the early stages, their family members will massage their paralyzed limbs to prevent muscle atrophy, and perform passive exercises such as flexion and extension of the knees, elbows, and fingers on large and small joints to avoid joint stiffness. Patients who are able to move a little can sit on a stool with the help of others and do activities such as leg raising, knee extension and standing with support to prevent cardiovascular dysfunction.

5. Drink plenty of water

During the recovery process, you should drink more water, because drinking water helps prevent thrombosis.
