AFTER STROKE

If you experience stroke and go to the hospital, the patient are not able to do anything except following MD’s advice. Family member must discuss when the patient may able to be discharged.

Family member must arrange with local acupuncturists. As soon as the patient is out of the hospital, the patient may be able to see the acupuncturist on your home or clinic.

Every patient is different. Some have difficult for walking, lifting hands, unable to grasp with fingers, or talking.

I will show videos on each phases.

This is the first day. The patient couldn’t talk. The patient couldn’t move the right leg and arm for 4 months. Here is the video after the first acupuncture treatment.

Next video shows WALKING EXERCISE WITH THE BRACE. The patient is not strong enough to stand alone. We need at least two people to help the patient from the front and back.

The goal for this patient is that the patient may be able to walk alone for the independence. Here is the video. The patient may need someone in the behind just for in case.

This takes a time. Don’t expect with a few acupuncture sessions. All family members must cooperate together.
