Brachial plexus injury rehabilitation

  The training methods are as follows.
  1.Nerve displacement:Paracentral nerve ——>Suprascapular nerve
  Exercise method:shrugging(driven)——>shoulder abduction
  2.Nerve displacement: healthy side of the neck 7 ——>(cervical 6+cervical 8) or (musculocutaneous nerve + median nerve)
  Exercise method: Shoulder adduction on the healthy side (driven) ——> Elbow flexion and wrist flexion on the affected side
  3.Nerve displacement: intercostal nerve ——>radial nerve
  Exercise method:inspiration (driven)——>elbow extension
  Each functional exercise 3 times a day, each flexion and extension 500, it is appropriate to divide into three groups in the morning, middle and evening to complete, the movement should be slow in place. Exercise from passive to active; the correct functional exercise should be felt pain, otherwise it is not enough strength, strength daily progressive.
  Early in the exercise, the active action can not yet drive out the passive action, then should use the brain to try hard to imagine the action, in order to promote the brain function to convert as soon as possible
  The postoperative functional exercise should be persistent, only by persistent exercise can we recover as soon as possible.
  I. Functional exercise:
  Two, electrical stimulation
  Functional exercise period can be combined with electrical stimulation treatment, each group of nerves three times a day, half an hour each time, the specific method according to the condition with the use of electrical stimulation instrument to guide the treatment.
  The purpose of brachial plexus injury rehabilitation treatment is to prevent and control comorbidities, promote the regeneration of damaged nerves, and promote the recovery of motor function and sensory function. Common rehabilitation treatment methods generally include.
  1.Neurotrophic drugs.
  2, acupuncture treatment. Electroacupuncture has the role of promoting the regeneration of nerves after injury, is an effective means of accelerating nerve regeneration, improve the recovery of nerve function.
  3, the injury site physical therapy: transcutaneous electrical stimulation, magnetic therapy 1-2 times a day. It is beneficial to promote nerve repair and release of nerve adhesions.
  4.Training to enhance muscle strength: functional exercises for the affected limb, such as: forward rotation and backward rotation of the arm, shoulder joint abduction and supination, elbow joint internal and external rotation, wrist flexion and extension movements, and palm support when the body is in sitting or lying position and other auxiliary exercises. When the affected muscle strength increases to 3-4 levels, resistance exercises can be performed to maximize the recovery of muscle strength.
  Life care:
  Diet: Do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, do not consume irritating food.
