Misconceptions in stroke rehabilitation: 1. The functional impairment caused by stroke can be restored by exercising hard on your own. Rehabilitation is highly specialized and is best done in a professional rehabilitation institution under the guidance of professional rehabilitation physicians and therapists, otherwise it may easily lead to certain disabilities (e.g., hand-carrying basket, circle-drawing gait) or non-recovery of function. This is especially true for language disorders, swallowing disorders, etc. 2. Stroke rehabilitation is acupuncture, physiotherapy, massage plus medication. At present, there is a consensus at home and abroad that active rehabilitation has a very positive effect on functional recovery and that passive training should be minimized. It is also wrong to hope for a certain medication. No medication has been recognized as effective for the treatment of post-stroke disorders worldwide; medication can be used as an adjunctive therapy; and finally, treatment with medication, acupuncture, and massage alone can slow down the recovery process of patients. 3. Wait until after discharge from the hospital before starting rehabilitation. Generally speaking, once the patient’s condition is stable for 48-72 hours, it is time to consider starting rehabilitation. The purpose of early rehabilitation is to preserve the patient’s remaining functions to the greatest extent possible and to avoid “disuse syndrome” and the prevention of various disabilities. Therefore, early rehabilitation is desirable to reduce the sequelae and improve the recovery speed. The first 3-6 months is the “golden period” of rehabilitation. 4. Give up if you can’t see the effect of rehabilitation for a long time. As the saying goes: “sickness comes like a mountain, sickness goes like a silk.” Stroke patients recovered damaged neurological function after rehabilitation, and even return to work, most of them have gone through a long time, neurological recovery from nothing to something, from something to full hard training process.
