Among all the organs in the human body, the brain is the organ with the most complex structure and perfect function. It is divided into many sections, which play different roles, such as psychology, consciousness, thinking, etc.; it is the most important part of the central nervous system. The brain transmits signals to the spinal nerve through the central nervous system, and then the spinal nerve sends instructions to muscles everywhere. , to control the motor function of the limbs.
The outer side of the brain is surrounded by numerous cerebral blood vessels that supply it with oxygen, blood, maintain normal metabolic functions, and more. When a cerebral infarction occurs, the blood supply of the cerebral blood vessels is blocked, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia in the local brain tissue, which is damaged and affects the function of this part of the brain tissue. The brain cannot transmit correct signals, and the patient will experience various Functional paralysis, such as swallowing dysfunction, limb motor dysfunction, loss of spontaneous breathing, impaired optic nerve function, etc.
And when the brain controls limb activities, it is generally cross control, the left brain controls the right limb, and the right brain controls the left limb, which is why many patients with cerebral infarction will have hemiplegia after the onset of the disease. .
Then how to achieve physical recovery as soon as possible after the onset of the disease?
1. Treat as soon as possible. The golden period of cerebral infarction rescue is within 3-4 hours after the onset, preferably no more than 6 hours. The more ischemia and hypoxia damage, the more serious the sequelae will be.
2. Start training as soon as possible. The best period of recovery is within 6 months after cerebral infarction, and the first 3 months is the period with the fastest recovery effect. 90% of patients have The hope of returning to walking can be realized.
3. In the later stage of care, patients with cerebral infarction will be unable to take care of themselves due to physical dysfunction, and need the help of family members or nurses. , urinary tract infection, etc., are undoubtedly delaying the patient’s recovery process and delaying the patient’s best recovery period.
4. To prevent recurrence, the recurrence rate of patients with cerebral infarction is 20%-30%, and the peak period of recurrence is within one year. The sequelae caused by the second cerebral infarction will be more severe than the first time The sequelae caused by infarction are more serious, so we must get rid of bad habits as soon as possible, control diet, take medicine on time, and have regular physical examinations to prevent recurrence of cerebral infarction.
