After Stroke Attacks, First Three Routine Exercises Are Very Important For Recovery

JAKARTA - Post-injury recovery is not only carried out at the hospital but also must be carried out intensely at home by the patient so that the body function returns to normal faster. Improvement of body function will look significant if the exercise is carried out routinely for the first one to three months of rehabilitation.

Medical rehabilitation specialist at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, dr. Steven Setiono Sp.KFR Subs NM(K) said regular training both at home and at the hospital is very important to restore body function after stroke. The most important medicine for stroke and function recovery is training. No drug can restore function, the only thing that can restore function is use and exercise," Steven said as quoted from ANTARA, Monday, August 12.Steven said, the most important stroke treatment after medical treatment is the return of the body function. Patients affected by stroke attacks usually experience weaknesses on the one hand, mouth chatting and talking. The loss of several body functions is due to damaged brain tissues that function to move body parts affected by stroke, both blockage and bleeding.

Rapid treatment to the hospital will minimize injury in brain tissue so it is not difficult to restore its body function as before. "Because the longer we go to the hospital, the longer we are treated, the more brain tissue is injured. And more brain tissues that are more injured or dead will also be related to their function, it will also decrease. So that's the first time, as soon as possible to go to the hospital so that the brain doesn't get damaged much," he said.

The training given by the medical rehabilitation doctor depends on what function you want to improve, such as training your hand function, walk, swallow, or talk.Steven also suggested as often as possible to repeat your daily movements so that the brain also recovers after a stroke. So, even though we are not perfect, we still have to keep trying, do repetition over and over again. Repeatedly, so the movement is bad, the longer the movement will be better, because the brain is trying to recover itself. Usually given the time three times a day, including perhaps with lighter intensity," explained Steven. Steven explained. In addition to frequent training, Steven is also reminded to control the risk factors of stroke such as high blood, diabetes transverse and high cholesterol as well as vitamins so that recurring stroke does not occur. Repeated strokes can cause more severe damage to brain tissue and cause more severe functional disorders. If you have symptoms of Steven's stroke, you should suggest to go to the hospital as soon as possible and do routine movement exercises in order to recover significantly.
