Disease description:
My father was hospitalized for cerebral thrombosis two days ago, and he has now passed the critical period. I would like to ask the doctor about rehabilitation methods for the later stages of cerebral thrombosis.
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Rehabilitation after cerebral thrombosis is a comprehensive and long-term process aimed at restoring the patient's functions and improving quality of life. Specific methods include the following:
1. Early rehabilitation: Rehabilitation activities should begin as early as possible once the patient's condition stabilizes and consciousness returns. Generally, rehabilitation can start 48 hours after onset, although the exact timing should be evaluated according to the patient's specific condition.
2. Physical therapy: Motor training is used to improve limb function, enhance muscle strength, and increase balance and coordination.
3. Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy helps patients regain skills necessary for daily living, such as dressing and eating.
4. Comprehensive rehabilitation measures: These include various methods such as acupuncture, massage, and magnetotherapy. These measures aim to assist patients in recovering physical functions, including training for individual functions such as movement and sensation.
5. Psychological support: Strengthen family companionship and psychological counseling. Patients require encouragement and companionship to assist with both physical and psychological rehabilitation.
Therefore, rehabilitation after cerebral thrombosis is a comprehensive, individualized process that requires joint efforts from the patient, family members, and medical professionals.
