Whether swollen feet in patients with cerebral infarction can be massaged depends on the specific situation. If the cause of swollen feet is due to poor local circulation or hypoproteinemia, massage can be used to assist in relieving symptoms. If the swelling is caused by deep vein thrombosis, massage is not suitable. 1. When patients suffer from cerebral infarction, local cerebral tissues become dysfunctional due to ischemia and hypoxia as a result of the obstruction of cerebral blood circulation, and even degeneration and necrosis, which can lead to motor disorders of the limbs innervated by the cerebral nerves in that place, thus causing paralysis of the limbs. Swelling of the feet may occur due to poor blood circulation of the local limbs caused by the patient’s limited mobility and prolonged bed rest. Swollen feet caused by this condition can be massaged to promote blood circulation and reduce the symptoms of swollen feet. 2. Patients with cerebral infarction may suffer from malnutrition due to prolonged bed rest and reduced food intake, resulting in hypoproteinemia and swelling of the feet. In this case, in addition to massage, should be timely supplementation of high-quality protein, in order to improve the symptoms. 3. Patients with more serious cerebral infarction may be bedridden for a long time due to limb paralysis, which reduces the amount of movement of the lower limbs and leads to deep vein thrombosis, causing swelling of the feet. In this case, massage is not recommended, so as not to cause venous thrombus dislodgement, pulmonary embolism, affecting the patient’s life safety. When patients with cerebral infarction have symptoms of swollen feet, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and carry out daily care under the doctor’s guidance. Patients should actively carry out rehabilitation exercises with the help of family members to improve symptoms and promote recovery.
