Hydrocephalus treatment exercise

summary

Hydrocephalus is a common disease, has been plagued by many patients and their families. The purpose of early rehabilitation is to promote the recovery of motor function and prevent joint contracture and limb deformity. Now let's talk about hydrocephalus treatment exercise.

Hydrocephalus treatment exercise

First, we should pay attention to the posture. Patients should pay attention to correct the supine position, or the healthy side position, The limb joints should be kept in the functional position. The shoulder joint should be abducted 50 degrees, rotated 15 degrees, flexed 40 degrees. The whole upper limb should be placed on a pillow to prevent shoulder adduction, elbow flexion, wrist back flexion 30 degrees to 45 degrees. It should also be noted that the supine position and the lateral position of the healthy side must be replaced frequently to avoid bedsore. These are areas that need to be highly valued

Second: pay attention to stretch paralyzed muscles, reduce muscle tension and excitability. Passive movement should include the movement of all joints in all directions of the affected limb, especially the abduction and external rotation of shoulder joint, external rotation of forearm, extension of wrist and hand joints, abduction and opposition of thumb, and avoid excessive stretching to avoid aggravating spasm. It is easy to cause joint subluxation and joint injury, so the passive range of motion should be small, and the initial movement should not exceed 90 degrees. The above points need to be kept in mind

Thirdly, the purpose of rehabilitation training is to improve the coordination and control of the central nervous system to each muscle group, train the compensatory function of each muscle group, stretch the tense and shortened muscles, and enhance their antagonistic function. When a single joint moves, gradually learn to control the whole limb. If there is progress in controlling two joints, learn to control three joints and gradually control the whole limb.

matters needing attention

In the whole process of rehabilitation, patients have a lot of pain, so to help patients build up the confidence to overcome the disease can play the fastest role in rehabilitation.
