【Learning points】
- Stroke is divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, and the treatment methods and precautions are different.
- There are many risk factors that cause stroke, including: three high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, smoking, drinking, obesity, etc.
- Common symptoms of stroke include limb weakness, slurred speech, etc., which can be improved by early interventional rehabilitation treatment.
I.What is a stroke?
Stroke is caused by blockage of blood vessels in the brain (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke), resulting in limb weakness and limited joint mobility, which reduces the patient's daily life ability and easily leads to mild to severe disability or even cause death.
II.Risk of stroke
III.Complications of stroke:
Stroke patients, due to changes in activity or even bed rest, can easily affect the organs of the whole body, such as: cardiovascular, lung, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, skeletal muscle and skin and other common comorbid symptoms.
IV.General symptoms of stroke:
Stroke is caused by damage to brain tissue, so there will be various symptoms, such as:
V.Stroke rehabilitation:
Stroke is a common complication, which can easily lead to a decline in the quality of life. Therefore, regular rehabilitation and drug treatment should be started as soon as possible to reduce the sequelae caused by stroke.
- Assist the range of motion of the limbs and joints.
- Improve posture positioning and assistive devicecoordination, avoid permanent contractures or deformations.
- Ability to assist daily independent self-care.
- Limb mobility and walking safety.
VI.Prevention of stroke:
To prevent the occurrence of stroke, we can reduce the risk of stroke through good living habits and full understanding of risk factors.
- Food and health care
- Daily health care:Stroke can be prevented and reduced by adjusting daily routines and daily habits. Therefore, it is very important to maintain good living habits.
VII.Conclusion
Stroke rehabilitation needs to be carried out for a long time. The quality of life after stroke can be improved and improved through the referral of the medical team to rehabilitation institutions, continuous rehabilitation treatment and drug use, positioning, stretching exercises and wearing assistive devices. To prevent stroke, we must have good and regular living habits and fully understand the risk factors in order to know how to prevent and reduce the probability of stroke.
