Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Methods for recovering from the sequelae of cerebral infarction mainly include the following aspects:
1. Medication: Commonly used drugs for patients with sequelae of cerebral infarction include medications that improve collateral circulation, antiplatelet aggregation drugs, and statins. These medications help reduce blood viscosity, stabilize plaques, and improve circulation.
2. Rehabilitation therapy:
Physical therapy: Includes muscle training and balance exercises to enhance muscle strength and stability, and improve limb mobility and walking ability.
Speech therapy: Targets patients with speech disorders, improving verbal skills through pronunciation exercises, oral muscle training, and language therapy.
Cognitive training: Involves performing various cognitive tasks and games to exercise brain function and restore memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities.
3. Lifestyle modifications: Maintain healthy habits such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. Dietary recommendations include increasing intake of fiber, vitamin C, and high-quality protein, reducing animal fat consumption, and maintaining a healthy weight.
