Effective care for stroke patients involves lifestyle management and regular monitoring of their condition. Clinically, it is recommended that patients rest in bed during the acute phase, preferably lying flat, to ensure adequate cerebral blood flow and alleviate symptoms of cerebral ischemia. After treatment, there remains a risk of recurrence; therefore, regular hospital check-ups are necessary to assess functional impairments and vascular conditions. Daily exercise training is also important. Most stroke patients experience mild, moderate, or severe hemiplegia, which makes self-care difficult.
