The rehabilitation of patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion cerebral infarction mainly includes joint and muscle function exercise, speech function exercise and physical therapy.
1. Joint and muscle function exercise: during the bedridden period, patients with cerebral infarction should be massaged to make their muscles passively contracted so as not to cause muscle atrophy and to prevent deep vein thrombosis at the same time. In the later stage, patients can use equipment to stand up, walk and other training to restore joint and muscle function.
2. Speech function exercise: patients with speech function area damage should carry out listening, reading and writing training under the guidance of the rehabilitator at an early stage in order to promote the recovery of speech function of the patients.
3. Physical therapy: During the rehabilitation period, patients can be rehabilitated through massage, medium frequency electrical stimulation, magnetic therapy and other physical therapy modalities.
Cognitive and swallowing dysfunction may also be included. The patient’s rehabilitation program needs to be developed under the guidance of the doctor according to the patient’s specific situation. If there is any discomfort during the rehabilitation period, it is important to seek medical attention.
