瘫痪 is a 常见的 complication of 卒中. It not only causes physical inconvenience, but also causes serious damage to mental 健康. 卒中 患者 are mostly concentrated in people over 65 years old.
Then 为什么 is there muscle 萎缩 after a 卒中 and 瘫痪?
1.Neuropathy
Neuropathy is mainly due to excessive compression and hypoxia of the nerves in the brain, and the functional 活动 of the nerves has been damaged to some extent. If not treated in time, this damage is irreversible. After the nerve lesions occur, the signal transduction 功能 of the nerves is impaired and self-conscious control cannot be performed, which can 导致 to muscle cell apoptosis and muscle 萎缩.
2.Malnutrition
After a 卒中, there will also be a skewed mouth angle, which will have a certain impact on eating. Long-term consumption of liquid food will cause the human body to lack relevant nutrients, and the water content of the body's muscle tissue will also decrease, resulting in thinness and insufficient fat. To support the muscles can cause muscle 萎缩 and muscle weakness.
3. Lack of exercise and maintain a fixed posture for a long time
After a 卒中, when one 肢体 is paralyzed, it is easy to maintain a relatively fixed posture. The 患者 refused to engage in activities because of fear of 疼痛. Because of the lack of exercise in the 肢体, the ability of muscle contraction will also decrease to a certain extent, which will 导致 to a decline in 肌肉力量, and for the 老年人, the metabolic rate is showing a gradual decline, and muscle 萎缩 and weakness are more likely to occur.
The foundation to avoid muscle 萎缩 is to avoid the occurrence of 卒中, which can be improved from the following points:
① Control blood pressure
Most people with 卒中 are associated with hypertension. Obviously controlling high blood pressure is also one of the 重要的 factors in controlling the occurrence of 卒中. It is best to control your systolic blood pressure within 140 mm Hg, and diastolic blood pressure within 90 mm Hg. For the 老年人, the range of blood pressure control can be appropriately expanded. Antihypertensive drugs should be taken on time, and the diet should be low-salt and low-fat.
② Regular physical examination
The root cause of some hemorrhagic strokes is the malformation of a certain 血管 in the brain, or the presence of aneurysms inside. When the size of the tumor continues to increase, it can compress the fragile malformed 血管 and cause the 破裂 of the 血管. Therefore, when an unexplained headache occurs, you can go to the hospital for a head CT examination to determine whether there are vascular malformations, intracranial tumors and other diseases.
③ Avoid trauma
Part of hemorrhagic strokes are caused by trauma to the outside of the head, leading to intracranial 出血. They are more 常见的 in injuries such as bruises, car accidents, and falls from high altitudes. In daily life, we must develop a sense of self-预防 and avoid engaging in dangerous sports and Work, if necessary, wear a safety helmet for 预防
④ Functional exercise
For people who have already been paralyzed, long-term physical training is required. Healthy 肢体 can be actively exercised. You can choose exercises such as finger climbing and slow walking. For paralyzed 肢体, you can use the uninvolved 手. Massage, promote local blood massage, avoid further 萎缩 of muscle cells, you can also choose professional exercise 设备 for exercise, for example, the 手 功能 康复 robotic gloves. It can effectively relieve 手 edema, and reduce the muscular tension.
⑤ Strengthen nutrition
You can eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein. Sufficient protein can promote muscle production, and can also 发挥 a 作用 in strengthening physical fitness. Eat more eggs, meat and other foods.
