Swollen hands in hemiplegia can be treated by active contraction with passive movement of joints and other means of exercise.
1. Active contraction: swollen hands in hemiplegic patients are related to local circulation disorders and abnormal absorption of tissue fluids, which cannot be ruled out to produce shoulder-hand syndrome. Active fist contraction can promote local circulation and improve the symptoms of hand swelling.
2. Passive movement of joints: passive movement of the patient’s wrist joints and hand joints can help improve the symptoms of hand swelling in hemiplegic patients. The movement should be gentle and should not cause pain to the patient.
3. Other therapeutic means: For hemiplegic hand swelling, centripetal wrapping with intermediate frequency electrical stimulation can help promote the dissipation of swelling, relieve pain, improve function and prevent sequelae.
After the condition of hemiplegia is stabilized, it is necessary to actively carry out systematic rehabilitation therapy to promote the recovery of function and prevent the phenomenon of being unable to take care of oneself at a later stage.
