An article to understand the recuperación training of upper limb motor dysfunction after ictus - Centro de Ictus

About ictus

Ictus is a disease in which blood circulation is destroyed due to acute cerebrovascular disease, resulting in partial or global neurological dysfunction. At the same time, it is also a common disease among the elderly in today's society, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year.

Ictus has the characteristics of high morbidity, high disability and high mortality. About 85% of ictus patients have limb movimiento disorders.

Types of limb paralysis after ictus

Limb motor paralysis is a common clinical symptom and sign of cerebral apoplexy. Different parts of the lesion can lead to paralysis of different limbs and different degrees of severity, such as hemiplegia, monoplegia, quadriplegia or crossed limb paralysis.

Upper limb dysfunction in hemiplegia is one of the common symptoms and signs of ictus

Human upper limbs need to complete more complex movements than lower limbs, their nervous control central system is more complex, and the recuperación after lesión is slower. After 3 months of concurrent tratamiento, 55% to 75% of patients still have upper limb disorders. Rehabilitación training for patients is particularly important. Rehabilitación exercise based on "brain plasticity" is an effective tratamiento method that has long been proven by clinical médico practice.

New concepts and new technologies are more applied to rehabilitación médico services. Robotic technology is introduced into the field of rehabilitación terapia, using the high intensity & repeatability, intelligent feedback & interaction, and task-oriented features of robots, allowing them to perform heavy work instead of physical therapists.
