What is a good limb position? The good limb position is a temporary position or posture designed from the perspective of therapeutic care to maintain good limb function in a recumbent or seated hemiplegic patient, and is also an anti-spastic position. 1. Early stroke patients spend most of their time in bed, so it is important to adopt the correct position. 2. It is also very important to position the good limbs in a wheelchair when going to the treatment area or out-of-care activities or when sitting in bed. 3.
Good limb position is the most basic treatment for hemiplegic patients in the early stage, which can play a good role in inhibiting spasticity pattern (upper limb flexor spasm and lower limb extensor spasm), preventing shoulder joint subluxation, and inducing early separation movement. 4. It is generally recommended to change the patient’s position once every 2 hours. When the patient can turn over in bed or move actively, the interval time can be changed appropriately. The good limb position placement of supine position, healthy side lying position, affected side lying position and sitting position is divided.
