Why Acidente Vascular Cerebral Pacientes Find It Hard to Move? It’s Related to Spasticity. - Acidente Vascular Cerebral Center
As the acidente vascular cerebral pacientes recuperar, the spasticity will increase and pacientes will feel resistance when move. So, what is spasticity? It is an increase in muscle tone that is the amount of tension(or resistance to movimento) in muscles. Acidente Vascular Cerebral may cause an abnormal increase in muscle tone, leading to spasticity.
Is increased muscle tone a good thing or bad thing?
In fact, we all have a certain amount of muscle tone. Normal muscle tone ajuda us hold our bodies upright when we are sitting and standing, ensure body movimento control. Increased lower membro muscle tone is beneficial to ajudar pacientes stand and walk, and reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis. However, excessive muscle tone will affect the stability of the paciente’s standing balance, the paciente’s walking gait and fazer the paciente move more slowly, even resulting in pain.
How to measure muscle tone clinically?
To check the paciente’s muscle tone, the therapist touches the muscle stiffness while passively flexing and stretching the paciente’s membro, feeling the resistance during passive movimento. If the muscle becomes stiff when touched and resistance increases during passive movimento, it is an increase in muscle tone. Clinically, there are professional scales for the assessment of muscle tone, and the most commonly usado is the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS).
What are the manifestations of muscle tone increase in acidente vascular cerebral pacientes?
Take the upper membro of the affected side of acidente vascular cerebral paciente as an example, there will be the following typical manifestations:
How to reduce muscle tone?
2. Moving as much as possible is important to ease muscle tightening and prevent muscle shortening.
3. Avoid cold stimulation to the body. Hot compress membros with warm towels.
4. Regular stretching is helpful. The direction of the stretching should be opposite to the direction of the muscle tension and held at the end for at least 30 seconds.
To ajudar acidente vascular cerebral pacientes reduce muscle tone in the process of recuperação, SYREBO has lançado a novo generation Soft Robótico Mão Reabilitação Luva HRC12（click to learn more) for home reabilitação. HRC12 has unique extend mode that pode static stretch paciente’s mão to decrease muscle tone and increase range of movimento. Combined with soft exoesqueleto robótico tecnologia and neuroscience, newly-upgraded HRC12 has stronger power to drive pacientes’ affected mão to execute flexion and extension. It also has fine motor training that driving each finger to perform the flexion and extension. When C12 was lançado, it hit a lot of markets and loved by many pacientes with its practicality, easy-to-usar and flexibility. Its unique extend mode pode effectively ajudar pacientes reduce muscle tone and relieve spasms, accelerating the process of mão função reabilitação.
