【脳梗塞／脳出血の痙縮】手が握り込む・足首がこわばる方へ｜自宅でできる3ステップリハビリ

[Correction] 02:10 04:10 We mistakenly wrote "stretch reflex" (stretch reflex). The correct term is "stretch reflex." #Stroke #Spasticity #Rehabilitation "I can't relax my muscles," "My limbs get stiff when I try to move them." Have you ever experienced something like that? Families may also be troubled by questions like, "Why does my limb become stiff even when I'm not exerting any force?" and "How can I support my limbs?" In fact, this isn't a "muscle strength issue," but rather a change in the control circuits in the brain and spinal cord. In this video, we'll provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the mechanism of spasticity after a stroke based on the latest research, and we'll discuss together "one solution you can try today." 🔶 New book "Functional Enhancement in Parkinson's Disease" → https://amzn.asia/d/0kHXEPc ✅ Book "Functional Recovery After Stroke" (with self-training videos) ▶︎ https://amzn.asia/d/bt0gmhL ✅ "STROKE LAB," a private rehabilitation facility in Tokyo and Osaka → https://www.stroke-lab.com/ ⸻ [What you'll learn from this video] • Why "involuntary tension" occurs • A complex mechanism that cannot be explained by reflex alone • The imbalance between "overactive" and "weakened" muscles that occurs after a stroke • Everyday "spasticity care" methods • Medical options based on the latest information • Questions to ask your healthcare provider tomorrow ⸻ [Rehabilitation Tips You Can Try Now] ・Don't push yourself. ・Don't hold your breath. ・Allow yourself some breathing space. ・Move within your range of motion and stretch slowly. ・Stretch stiff muscles and use the opposing muscles in small increments. ・Leaning is okay, so maintain good posture. ・Be careful and slowly apply your weight. (The video includes illustrations and demonstrations.) ⸻ [For those who want to take the next step] Spasticity will not completely disappear, but understanding its relationship to neural circuits and movement may help alleviate symptoms and improve mobility. The important thing is to start today and try even just one technique that suits your condition. By making small changes tailored to your symptoms, you can expand your range of movement. Let's move forward together, within your limits. ⸻ 👍If you found this helpful, please give us a "like" and subscribe!
