Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Commonly used recovery methods for hemiplegia:
1. Early intervention and continuous rehabilitation: Rehabilitation training should begin immediately after diagnosis of hemiplegia. Early intervention maximizes neuroplasticity and promotes regeneration of damaged neurons and functional reconstruction.
2. Medication therapy: Antiplatelet agents, lipid-lowering and plaque-stabilizing medications may be used to repair damaged nerve cells and promote recovery.
3. Physical therapy: Includes active and passive exercises, such as finger flexion and turning exercises, assisted walking training, to improve motor dysfunction and prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy.
4. Acupuncture and massage: Traditional Chinese therapies such as acupuncture and massage have significant effects on limb motor recovery in patients with hemiplegia.
5. Physical modalities: Such as electrical stimulation and medium-frequency pulse therapy, which can stimulate and restore various bodily functions.
6. Speech and swallowing therapy: Patients with speech disorders or difficulty swallowing receive one-on-one training from speech therapists to improve communication abilities and safe eating practices.
