How to rehabilitate after cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury?

  Rehabilitation training should be carried out as soon as possible, under the guidance of a rehabilitation physician and therapist. Timely, continuous and correct rehabilitation training is beneficial to the patient’s functional recovery. For rehabilitation training, a systematic evaluation of motor function is required to identify the main current problems and then to provide targeted treatment. For example, if high muscle tone is present, systematic antispasticity treatment is needed, with measures including good limb position placement, wearing braces, adjusting rehabilitation training methods, taking antispasticity drugs, and botulinum toxin treatment.  It is wrong to hope for a certain drug to treat the sequelae of hemiplegia. First of all, there is no drug recognized as effective in treating hemiplegic sequelae all over the world; secondly, drugs can be used as an adjunctive treatment, and rehabilitation training is necessary; finally, treatment with only drugs, acupuncture and massage will delay the recovery process of patients.
