【Learning points】
  1. Common complications of stroke include: physical activity dysfunction, swallowing disorder, and dangerous falls. If the patient has limb dysfunction, it can be improved and alleviated through rehabilitation treatment.
  2. Wear appropriate clothes, pants and shoes, keep the environment clear of obstacles, have adequate lighting, add anti-slip measures, and use appropriate aids to prevent falls.
  3. After stroke patients stabilize, they should actively receive physical and functional training during the golden period of rehabilitation, so that patients can achieve good quality of life and health after returning home.
 
I.Common complications of cerebral infarction:
  1. Physical activity dysfunction.
  2. Dysphagia.
  3. Dangerous falls
 
II. Daily care
  1. Physical activity dysfunction
    1. Prevention and rehabilitation of joint muscle contracture:
      contracture: such as joint movement, the affected side performs up and down flexion and extension, adduction and abduction.

    3. Do not pile up objects in the activity space, keep the passageway unobstructed and the ground clean and dry.
 
III.Conclusion
After the patients with cerebral infarction are in stable condition, they should actively receive physical and functional training during the golden period of rehabilitation, and provide appropriate care and education when they are discharged from the hospital, so that the patients can achieve a good quality of life and health after returning home.
