Misunderstanding 1: let the patient "stretch out his hand for clothes and open his mouth for food"

  The elderly can't get out of bed all year round. In order to honor the elderly, their children feed and push wheelchairs so that the elderly don't have to do anything. They hope to take meticulous care to make the elderly recover as soon as possible.

PS: letting the elderly stretch out their hands in clothes and open their mouths in meals is not good for the rehabilitation of patients. Many elderly people with stroke sequelae, hemiplegia and paraplegia will become "more and more lazy", because after the central nervous system of such patients is damaged, brain cells will also be damaged, and some people will have mental decline or slow reaction.

Misunderstanding 2: The activity is "kneading meat"

In the process of rehabilitation, doctors will ask patients to exercise more, but many people's way of activity is kneading and kneading muscles. This "activity" has little effect on the rehabilitation of the disease except for some help to prevent muscle atrophy. The real activity should be active joints. There are many joints in the whole body of the human body, up to 28 in the hand alone. The family should help the patient with the flexion, extension, rotation and bending of the joints at ordinary times. Because staying in bed for a long time is easy to cause adhesion of human joints, resulting in pain.

Misunderstanding 3:Turn over just "turn over"

Sometimes, when the patient is pushed over the bed by force, many patients often turn over the bed to prevent the patient from turning over. When turning over, the action should be slow. Do not use too much force. Some paralyzed patients will have muscle atrophy. If the family uses too much force to help the patient turn over, it may lead to muscle strain or even fracture. The correct turning over should be to hold the patient's body, follow the principle of upper body first and then lower body, roll from the patient's waist first, then hold the shoulders and hips, let them roll slowly, and then achieve the purpose of turning over.

Misunderstanding 3:Take more medicine and get better quickly

In order to make the patient better quickly, the family will listen to the publicity of the business and buy all kinds of "special drugs". The recovery of hemiplegia, paraplegia and other diseases is a long-term process, which must go through systematic rehabilitation treatment. Don't believe the "nonsense" that hemiplegia can be cured by taking medicine. Patience is important in nursing patients with chronic diseases.
