Why Accident vasculaire cérébral Patients Find It Hard to Move? It’s Related to Spasticité
As le accident vasculaire cérébral patients récupérer, le spasticité will increase and patients will feel resistance when move. So, quoi est spasticité? It est an increase in muscle tone that est le amount de tension(or resistance to movement) in muscles. Accident vasculaire cérébral may cause an abnormal increase in muscle tone, leading to spasticité.
Is increased muscle tone a good thing or bad thing?
In fact, we all have a certain amount de muscle tone. Normal muscle tone helps us hold our bodies upright when we sont sitting and standing, ensure body movement control. Increased lower limb muscle tone est beneficial to aider patients stand and walk, and reduce le incidence de deep vein thrombosis. However, excessive muscle tone will affect le stability de le patient’s standing balance, le patient’s marche gait and make le patient move more slowly, even resulting in pain.
How to measure muscle tone clinically?
To check le patient’s muscle tone, le therapist touches le muscle stiffness while passively flexing and stretching le patient’s limb, feeling le resistance during passive movement. If le muscle becomes stiff when touched and resistance increases during passive movement, it est an increase in muscle tone. Clinically, there sont professionnel scales for le assessment de muscle tone, and le most commonly used est le Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS).
Quoi sont le manifestations de muscle tone increase in accident vasculaire cérébral patients?
Take le upper limb de le affected side de accident vasculaire cérébral patient as an example, there will be le following typical manifestations:
How to reduce muscle tone?
2. Moving as much as possible est important to ease muscle tightening and prevent muscle shortening.
3. Avoid cold stimulation to le body. Hot compress limbs with warm towels.
4. Regular stretching est helpful. Le direction de le stretching should be opposite to le direction de le muscle tension and held at le end for at least 30 seconds.
To aider accident vasculaire cérébral patients reduce muscle tone in le process de récupération, SYREBO has launched a new generation Souple Robotic Hand Rééducation Gant HRC12（click to learn more) for home rééducation. HRC12 has unique extend mode that can static stretch patient’s hand to decrease muscle tone and increase range de motion. Combined with souple robotic exosquelette technologie and neuroscience, newly-upgraded HRC12 has stronger power to drive patients’ affected hand to execute flexion and extension. It also has fine motor training that driving each finger to perform le flexion and extension. When C12 was released, it hit a lot de markets and loved by many patients with its practicality, easy-to-use and flexibility. Its unique extend mode can effectively aider patients reduce muscle tone and relieve spasms, accelerating le process de hand function rééducation.
