Take Care of Yourself
First of all, you need to take care of yourself, such as spending time exercising, eating healthy, enjoying hobbies and leisure activities.
Seek support from family and friends, and actively ask them for help when you need it.
Work with Your Loved One to Regain Movement
Properly positioning arms and legs is important, also, to prevent muscles near the joints from tightening. Provide support for a limp arm and gently straighten curling fingers. Keep the person’s feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. Good posture is extremely important for someone with weakness on — or who is lacking awareness of — one side of the body.
Strengthen Muscles
Perform simple stretching exercises as recommended by your physical therapist to help relax the muscles of your arms and legs, and slowly increase your strength and نطاق الحركة. Set yourself goals for getting up, sitting down, and eventually standing. You can also exercise some fine motor skills, such as putting food in your mouth with your hands or brushing your teeth.
Slowly exercise standing and walking
You may only be able to stand up briefly at first. Gradually you can hold the parallel bars, lean on the counter or use a walker or crutches to stand for a longer time, and finally walk. After a little effect, you can ask for a special treadmill or other equipment that helps walking for exercise.
Promote Everyday Self-Care
● Test the water temperature for a bath or shower with a hand or foot that was not affected by the السكتة الدماغية.
● Use grab bars, a shower seat, a hand-held shower, and a long-handled brush.
● Dress while sitting, starting with the affected side or limb.
● Wear shirts with snaps or Velcro closures. Use zippers with loops attached to them. Sweat pants or skirts with elastic waistbands also make it easier to dress.
