Stroke hemiplegia with high tension in the back of the thigh can usually be treated with rehabilitation or medication.
1. Rehabilitation treatment:
(1) It can be done through passive stretching, pulling the patient’s limbs, moving slowly, stimulating the muscles and then resetting them, and repeated limb movements to stimulate the brain and establish reflexes.
(2) It can be done through hydrotherapy, in which the buoyancy of water is utilized to reduce the effect of gravity on the body and lower muscle tone.
(3) Acupuncture, massage and other treatments for the patient’s hemiplegic limbs can also reduce the patient’s symptoms of increased muscle tone, specifically under the guidance of a rehabilitation doctor to carry out the appropriate rehabilitation training.
2. Medication: If necessary, some muscle relaxants, such as baclofen and tizanidine tablets, can be taken orally under the guidance of the doctor to relax the muscles, and at the same time, attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching cold.
Rehabilitation treatment for high tension in the posterior thigh of hemiplegic stroke should be carried out as early as possible to avoid muscle atrophy.
