Stroke And Paralysis

Stroke And Paralysis

Types of Stroke:
  • Ischemic Stroke: Caused by a blockage in a blood vessel supplying the brain.
  • Hemorrhagic Stroke:Caused by bleeding in the brain

  • Effects Of Mobality:
  • Hemiplegia: : Total paralysis on one side of the body.
  • Hemiparesis: Weakness on one side of the body.

  • Functional Impairments:
  • Difficulty Walking: : Challenges with balance and co-ordination.
  • Impaired Arm Function: Difficulty with reaching, grasping, and fine motor skills.
  • Muscle Stiffness: Increased muscle tone (spasticity) in affected limbs.

    Physiotherapy Management:

  • Early Mobilization:
  • Bed Mobility Exercises: : Gentle exercises to improve turning and rolling in bed.
  • Sitting Balance Activities: Promoting stability in a seated position.

  • Range of Motion Exercises:
  • Passive Range of Motion (PROM): : Gentle movements of the affected limbs to maintain joint flexibility.
  • Active-Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM): Encouraging the individual to participate in moving their limbs with assistance.
 
  • Strengthening Exercises:
  • Isometric Exercises: : Muscle contractions without joint movement to maintain strength.
  • Progressive Resistance Training: Gradual introduction of resistance for muscle strengthening.
 
  • Balance and Co-ordination Training:
  • Weight-Shifting Exercises: : Promoting weight-bearing on the affected side.
  • Dynamic Balance Activities: Activities that challenge balance and co-ordination.

  • Gait Training:
  • Supported Ambulation: : Using assistive devices or support to facilitate walking.
  • Treadmill Training: Gradual progression to walking on a treadmill with support.

  • Functional Tasks:
  • Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: : Practicing tasks like dressing, grooming, and eating.
  • Functional Reach Exercises: Improving arm and hand function for daily tasks.

  • Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT):
  • Forced Use: : Restraining the unaffected limb to encourage use and improvement of the affected limb.

  • Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES):
  • Stimulation: : Applying electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions and improve muscle strength.

  • Task-Specific Training:
  • Repetition: : Repeated practice of specific functional tasks to enhance motor learning.

  • Community Reintegration:
  • Outdoor Mobility Practice: : Preparing individuals to navigate varied terrains and environments.
  • Public Transportation Skills: Training for safe use of public transportation.

  • Home Exercise Program:
  • Independence at Home: : Prescribing exercises and activities for individuals to perform independently at home.

  • Education and Support:
  • Education on Recovery: : Providing information on the recovery process and setting realistic expectations.
  • Family/Caregiver Training: Involving family members or caregivers in the rehabilitation process.
