When is the best time to treat stroke patients

  The earlier the rehabilitation treatment for stroke patients, the better. Generally speaking, patients with cerebral infarction are stable for 24-48 hours, and patients with cerebral hemorrhage are stable for 1-2 weeks. However, patients and family members are often concerned about early exercise, especially for patients with cerebral hemorrhage, who are worried that early activity may cause rebleeding. If rehabilitation is started too late, the best “golden time” for rehabilitation will be lost and sequelae and complications will be left behind. Others believe that rehabilitation of stroke patients is meaningless after six months, and that the patient’s body functions will not recover more after further treatment, which is also wrong. Many patients still have improved physical function several years after a stroke, and without consistent exercise, the function that has been restored will often regress.
