Cerebral infarction patients can exercise, but it is recommended to choose mild aerobic exercise such as walking, swimming, playing tai chi and other forms of exercise.
Cerebral infarction patients are due to intracranial blood vessel blockage, blood circulation disorders, resulting in intracranial ischemia, hypoxia caused by limited ischemic necrosis or softening of brain tissue.
Patients with cerebral infarction are prone to slow blood flow in the lower limbs and thrombosis if they are bedridden for a long time, so appropriate exercise can reduce the incidence of blood clots in both lower limbs. At the same time, patients with cerebral infarction can reduce the incidence of lung infection through exercise. In addition, patients with cerebral infarction can improve their physical quality and regulate the metabolic state of the body through exercise, which can effectively prevent the recurrence of cerebral infarction.
Patients with cerebral infarction should choose mild aerobic exercise, because intense exercise may cause blood pressure to rise, which may induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can speed up the patient’s metabolism, accelerate blood flow, increase cerebral blood flow, which can assist in relieving the state of insufficient blood supply to the brain of patients with cerebral infarction, and help the recovery of the disease.
If patients with cerebral infarction need to exercise, it is recommended to consult relevant professional doctors and choose the appropriate exercise mode under the doctors’ guidance.
