The rehabilitation method of post-stroke hand can be roughly divided into the placement of good limb position, passive activity training, active joint movement and fine daily activity training.
1. Good limb position: After stroke, the hand has an abnormal posture of wrist flexion and finger joints clenching fists due to the elevated tension of the flexor muscles of the upper limb, so it is necessary to keep the wrist dorsally extended and the five fingers straight and separated when correcting the hand in good limb position for functional recovery.
2. Passive activity training: carry out passive activity training of the wrist and finger joints to prevent joint flexion and spasm, with gentle and slow rhythmic rotation, flexion and extension activities within the joints.
3. Active movement: In the process of muscle strength recovery of the upper limb and hand, induce the common and separate movement of the fingers, which can be grasping to side pinching exercises, and hand grasping strength training, finger extension training.
4. Fine motor training: the ultimate rehabilitation needs of the hand is to meet the needs of daily life, so fine training such as screwing bolts, buttoning, brushing teeth, picking up beans and so on can be carried out.
The recovery of hand function after stroke is relatively slow, so the training should be carried out under the guidance of professional rehabilitation therapists to avoid bringing bad posture habits.
