The patient with cerebral infarction still cannot move their hand one year later.
Cerebral infarction generally refers to cerebral infarction (cerebral infarct). If a patient still cannot move their hand one year after the event, it may be related to nerve damage, muscle weakening, muscle spasm, motor coordination disorders, or psychological factors, and symptomatic treatment is required. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Nerve damage: Cerebral infarction may cause nerve injury in the hand, affecting neural signal transmission and muscle control, leading to the aforementioned condition. It is recommended that patients undergo rehabilitation therapy, such as physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, to promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
2. Muscle weakening: Prolonged lack of use and movement may lead to atrophy and weakening of the hand muscles. Patients are advised to actively engage in rehabilitation training to exercise hand muscles and enhance hand muscle strength and flexibility.
3. Muscle spasm: After cerebral infarction, nerve damage may result in spasms and tension in the hand muscles. Patients should actively receive physical therapy, such as stretching exercises, massage, and heat application, to relieve muscle spasms and tension.
4. Motor coordination disorder: Cerebral infarction may impair coordination of hand movements, resulting in hand dysfunction. Patients are advised to perform hand function training and balance exercises to improve motor control and coordination of the hand.
5. Psychological factors: Hand dysfunction caused by cerebral infarction may negatively affect emotions and psychological status, such as causing anxiety and depression. Patients are encouraged to communicate frequently with family members and doctors, and to maintain a positive attitude during rehabilitation.
Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly when experiencing discomfort and to follow standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, which can facilitate recovery.
