What do you know about stroke?

The latest discovery in today's society and the statistics of the World Health Organization show that China is a country with a high incidence of stroke, with as many as 6 million surviving stroke patients, of whom 4.5 million are disabled. This amazing data let us know that stroke is not only a big killer that harms human beings, but also has a very high morbidity and mortality. In this regard, the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients has been put in the first place in clinical medicine. Treatment is time-sensitive, and no doctor will tell you to wait until it is hopeless. Once the diagnosis of stroke is confirmed, rehabilitation treatment should be started as soon as possible. The sooner you recover, the better.

Generally speaking, after 48 hours of stable condition, as long as the condition no longer worsens, patients can intervene in rehabilitation treatment. The best period of recovery is within 3 months after stroke, and the recovery speed will be slower after half a year. Take advantage of this best time of natural recovery to carry out active rehabilitation treatment for patients. Don't think that the rehabilitation treatment of stroke is arbitrary and can be carried out anywhere, and there are still great requirements for the choice of location. Stroke rehabilitation should be carried out in stroke unit or rehabilitation department with regular organization and coordination ability. At present, many large or specialized hospitals have set up stroke units composed of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, language trainers, psychotherapists, recreational therapists and sports therapists. Not only drug therapy, but also the combination of drug therapy with physical rehabilitation, psychological rehabilitation, language training, health education and life guidance. At the same time, it emphasizes that patients' families and caregivers, especially patients' relatives, participate in the whole rehabilitation process.
