There is no clear data on the number of steps per day for patients with cerebral infarction, and it is related to the limb dysfunction of patients caused by cerebral infarction and the underlying diseases.
If there is no effect on limb movement after cerebral infarction and no serious underlying disease, there is no limitation on walking, and the patient can walk like a normal person, but should not be overworked. If there is limitation of limb activity after cerebral infarction, difficulty in walking or combined with serious knee disease, cardiac insufficiency and other diseases, it is not recommended to walk for a long time, according to one’s own situation, and should rest in time when feeling tired.
Appropriate exercise, such as brisk walking, can help prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction. However, the number of steps per day needs to be judged according to the tolerance level of the body, and not every patient with cerebral infarction is suitable for walking exercise, but also can choose to swim, play Tai Chi and other ways of exercise. Any kind of exercise should be appropriate to avoid overwork and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
