Can you live on your own with a massive cerebral infarction?

Massive cerebral infarction is easy to cause serious neurological dysfunction sequelae, directly affecting daily life, patients generally can not live on their own, but through adherence to rehabilitation training can improve the quality of life. Massive cerebral infarction is a kind of more serious ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which is easy to cause irreversible ischemic damage to brain tissue and lead to neurological dysfunction. As the scope of cerebral infarction is relatively large, there is a large area of brain tissue damage, so it will produce obvious symptoms of neurological dysfunction, such as cognitive dysfunction, hemiplegia, speech dysfunction, etc., so some of the patients may be in a bedridden state, unable to live on their own. Some patients can recover some functions through active rehabilitation therapy, but generally cannot achieve the ability to live on their own, so they need the care of others. During the bedridden period of patients with massive cerebral infarction, care should be taken to turn over and pat the back at regular intervals, and move the limbs and joints appropriately and passively, so as to avoid skin pressure ulcers, lung infections, or changes in the limbs and joints with contractures and deformities.
