Stroke tends to be younger

  Stroke, commonly known as “stroke”, is a group of diseases caused by rupture and bleeding of cerebral blood vessels or thrombosis, with symptoms of hemorrhagic or ischemic damage to the brain as the main clinical manifestation, also known as cerebrovascular accident. The common symptoms of stroke include sudden onset of slurred speech, numbness and weakness of one limb, dizziness, headache or nausea and vomiting.  In recent years, cerebrovascular disease is not exclusive to the middle-aged and elderly, but more and more young people are also being attacked by cerebrovascular disease. Many young people think that they are still young and diseases are still far away from them, so they often overspend their bodies. Therefore, correcting unhealthy lifestyles and actively looking for the primary cause is the key to keep young people away from stroke.  Early intervention of modern rehabilitation medicine can significantly reduce the disability rate of stroke. According to statistics, active and early rehabilitation treatment after stroke can make 80% of patients improve their functions significantly and live a self-care life. The human brain has a high degree of reorganization and plasticity after injury, and this reorganization and plasticity is closely related to rehabilitation training, the earlier and more adequate the rehabilitation training, the more obvious the recovery of damaged brain function. A large number of clinical rehabilitation practices have shown that comprehensive rehabilitation therapy is usually advocated to be started after 48 hours of stabilization of vital signs and no aggravation or improvement of the primary neurological disorder after stroke, with the best results in young stroke patients.  For younger patients, there are three rehabilitation goals: the first is to restore function, the second is to improve the patient’s ability to care for himself/herself, and the third is to restore the ability to participate in society. The recovery of social participation is particularly important for patients of working age, and the ultimate goal is to enable patients to return to work.  In short, prevention is more important than treatment. If we think of rehabilitation only after the onset of disease, it is not only difficult and costly, but also may leave after-effects. The most skilled doctors are not good at treating people who are already sick, but rather the sub-healthy people who can prevent diseases from appearing. In order to prevent stroke, it is recommended that young people should change their habits, adjust their mindset and relieve work pressure.
