PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR PARALYSIS

PHYSIOTHERAPY PLAYS VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN TREATMENT OF PARALYSIS

• physiotherapy should be started as soon as the patient is diagnosed as stroke followed by hemiplegia(paralysis).  

Causes of Paralysis: When the central nervous system gets impaired, then it leads to paralysis. Nerve impairments generally take place because of the following reasons:

• Strokes can cause paralysis because when a person suffers from a stroke, there is a sudden loss of control and function of a part of the brain. The brain then cannot send reflexes and cannot receive stimuli from the other nerves.
• Tumors, trauma, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy can also cause paralysis.

•     physiotherapy aims to have  absorbing influence in the area of affection, improve cerebral hemodynamics, recover moving ability in paretic extremities, reduce intensity of vegetative and trophic disorders, prevent development of contractions and spasticity.  

• During shivering paralysis physiotherapy treatment aims to improve circulation of the blood, increase the level of cerebral metabolic processes, weaken hypertension and muscle rigidity, reduce general constraint and shivering, slow down the progress of the disease, increase the living tone as well as physical and emotional activity of the patients.

• To treat craniocerebral injury physiotherapy treatment is also used. In this case a physiotherapy course aims to have antiphlogistic and absorbing influence in the area of injury, improve cerebral metabolism, localize stress reaction, have sedative and tranquilizing action on the central nervous system, promote resolution of scars, recover functional neurodynamic relations and broken functions.

Thus, if you suffer from paralysis, we recommend that you undergo a course of physiotherapy to completely recover from it. Contemporary physiotherapy uses the most sophisticated equipment.
