Exercise methods for cerebral thrombosis and hand weakness include exercise therapy, robot-assisted therapy and physical factor therapy.
1. Exercise therapy: patients in the acute and subacute stage can be forced to increase the frequency of using the hemiplegic side limb by restricting the use of the healthy side upper limb, and at the same time, focusing, repeating, and gradually increasing the difficulty of the upper limb muscle strength training and daily activities related training on the affected side upper limb, so as to achieve the purpose of regaining the normalcy.
2. Robot-assisted therapy: Robot-assisted therapy can enhance the input of sensory information to the limbs by improving the agility of the hands, the completion of functional tasks of the upper limbs and the social participation of the patients in the early stage of rehabilitation in the case of extreme hand weakness.
3. Physical factor therapy: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used, this treatment plan by inducing and promoting the functional reorganization of brain circuits, regulating the excitability of the cerebral cortex to improve the patient’s upper limb muscle strength, and also can be used in the middle-frequency stimulation, low-frequency stimulation and so on.
Patients with cerebral thrombosis hand weakness are recommended to undergo rehabilitation under the guidance of doctors and therapists to avoid delays.
