How to reduce hand swelling after a stroke

Hand swelling after stroke can be eliminated by elevating the affected limb, grasping exercises and physical therapy. 1. Elevate the affected limb: You can elevate the limb on the swollen side. Elevate the swollen side of the limb so that it is higher than the heart to promote the return of venous blood flow, and thus improve the symptoms of hand swelling. 2. Grasping exercise: regular finger grasping training can enhance the contraction of hand muscles and local blood circulation to promote and improve venous return obstacles, and then eliminate hand swelling. 3. Physiotherapy: The treatment can be carried out through air pressure, through the distal limb and proximal limb for uniform pressure, promote the flow of limb tissues and lymphatic fluid, and then alleviate the phenomenon of swelling in the hand. If swelling occurs after a stroke, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out professional symptomatic treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
