We already know that early rehabilitation of stroke patients can promote functional plasticity and reorganization of damaged brain, prevent disuse syndrome and misuse syndrome, prevent limb spasticity, prepare psychologically and physically for recovery and sequelae, and shorten recovery time and reduce economic expenditure. It has been observed that 66.6% of stroke patients who received early rehabilitation treatment group were basically cured and made significant progress, while the control group who did not receive early rehabilitation treatment was only 26.6%. So? What rehabilitation method should be adopted for early rehabilitation of stroke patients? We believe that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation therapy is the most beneficial to the recovery of stroke patients. First, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and since the introduction of modern Western rehabilitation medicine in China in the early 1980s, traditional Chinese rehabilitation therapy and modern Western rehabilitation medicine have undergone a process of mutual learning and interpenetration in China. Chinese rehabilitation medicine is characterized by the combination of holistic rehabilitation and dialectical rehabilitation, health rehabilitation and clinical rehabilitation, physical rehabilitation and emotional rehabilitation, and natural rehabilitation and drug rehabilitation, while Western rehabilitation medicine emphasizes functional assessment and analysis, based on precise knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology and pathophysiology, with the goal of restoring the individual’s daily independent life and social life, and combining motor function The rehabilitation of motor function is closely integrated with vocational rehabilitation, psychological rehabilitation and social rehabilitation, and the combination of rehabilitation treatment and rehabilitation engineering is emphasized. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine is the advantage of China’s rehabilitation medicine. With modern rehabilitation medicine methods for functional examination and efficacy assessment, the mechanism of traditional rehabilitation therapy can be explored; with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation methods, the efficacy of functional rehabilitation can be improved. Secondly, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation can treat both the symptoms and the root cause. The symptom refers to the surface of the disease, which is the phenomenon; the root refers to the source of the symptoms, which is the root. Treating both the symptoms and the root cause of the disease means treating not only the external manifestations of the disease, but also the causes of the disease. For example, stroke patients often present with hemiplegia, motor dysfunction, and inability to take care of themselves, but these symptoms are only the external manifestations of the disease, which are the “symptoms”, while the root cause of stroke, which is the “root”, may be The root cause of stroke may be “qi deficiency and blood stasis”, in which qi is weak and unable to push the blood to run, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood in the brain and blockage of meridians. Rehabilitation treatment should treat both the symptoms and the root cause. Western modern rehabilitation treatment methods such as exercise therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) should be applied to improve the motor function and self-care ability of hemiplegia (treating the symptoms); traditional Chinese rehabilitation treatment methods such as acupuncture, massage, acupuncture points and Chinese medicine should be applied to benefit the qi and blood, unblock the meridians, treat the root cause of stroke and prevent its recurrence (treating the root cause). Again, the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation can be significantly improved. This is the most important reason for combining Chinese and Western medicine in rehabilitation, and it is also the core of combining Chinese and Western medicine in rehabilitation. It has been observed that the improvement of motor function and daily living ability in combined Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation treatment for stroke is significantly better than that in the modern rehabilitation treatment group alone (p<0.01) and the TCM rehabilitation treatment group alone (p<0.05). This phenomenon was also observed in our clinical treatment. Some stroke patients with hemiplegia, who had not progressed significantly after simple modern rehabilitation or simple TCM rehabilitation, even for more than one year, still achieved satisfactory results after our systematic treatment of combined Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation. In conclusion, it is advisable to use the combination of Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation therapy for the early rehabilitation of stroke, which has the highest efficacy in treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
