Most of you will be convinced by the fact that the electric wiring at our places may not function appropriately sometimes. Similarly, our body is home to 7 trillion nerves, and the functioning of any of these nerves can get disrupted. Thereafter, an individual can experience loss of muscle function in a part or all of the body. This is referred to as a paralysis attack.
It can have various causes, including strokes, spinal cord injuries, or certain neurological disorders possessing symptoms like sudden weakness, numbness, or loss of movement in the area that has been affected.
Usually, there are two types of paralysis attacks that have been observed and can be categorized as follows:
Complete Paralysis
Partial Paralysis
Complete paralysis is a condition wherein there is no voluntary movement observed in the affected region and a total loss of muscle function is observed. Whereas in partial paralysis, the affected individual can have limited movement in the affected region of the body. Such a condition is often termed paresis, wherein some muscle function is still retained in the affected region of the body.
According to the NCBI, spinal cord injuries have been identified as the ruling cause behind paralysis attacks. Also, neurological disorders have also been categorized as an eminent cause of the latter. In cases of stroke, research says that in 2019, there were approximately 699,000 deaths due to the mentioned condition.
Further, this raises the need for preventing the same and also escalates the value of physiotherapy for the affected population.
Keeping the Promise of Recovery in Paralysis Attack
Being key players in the niche of physiotherapy, either for the issue of back pain, neck pain, or shoulder pain to critical issues like stroke and spinal cord injuries, including paralysis attacks, our experts provide comprehensive training to the patients, helping them mark independent living goals. From restoration of movement to aiding strength and functionality training, physiotherapy at ABTP can play a significant role in the lives of the affected individual.
Physiotherapy interventions in the cases of paralysis attacks enhance control over the affected areas with an aim to alleviate the stiffness in the affected area. A training regimen customized for the individual who has been afflicted by such unfortunate incidents prevents secondary complications. Helping Patients Post Paralysis Attack?
Paralysis can be a life-altering experience. It can lead to physical limitations, and in these tough times, physiotherapy serves as a ray of hope. The ABTP experts make an effort to resolve the diverse challenges of the condition through holistic physiotherapy training programs. These physiotherapy programs usually address the muscular weakness and atrophy caused by this condition.
Physiotherapists often initiate the program by incorporating diverse pain management techniques. This condition calls for muscle strengthening and conditioning to overcome the loss caused. To accomplish this, the focus is drawn to various distinct methods of resistance training and functionality training to advance the recovery process in paralysis.
As a consequence, the weakened muscles get strengthened, and even the muscle tone gets enhanced.
The physiotherapy programs challenge the muscles to restore their functionality. Passive stretching, flexibility training, and joint mobilization boost the range of motion. This further boosts the optimal function of the affected part of the body.
THE STORY
One of the patients at ABTP underwent a stroke, which primarily affected his shoulders. Have a look at the way his recovery has paced up and that he is now able to perform a complete shoulder strength strengthening routine with complete confidence.
During the stroke phase, the patient required support to perform activities. However, once he achieved optimal performance, he was able to follow the training regimen independently.
Various techniques taken up at ABTP not only focus on reducing the tightness of the muscles but also focus on reducing involuntary spasms, promoting comfortable living. Rather, an early physiotherapy intervention prevents further complications like shrinking of the muscles due to lack of use and joint contractures.
Post a paralysis attack, a patient is then not only able to promote physical recovery but also improve mental well-being and the quality of life. The neuroexperts here cater to the needs of the individual through customized training programs addressing the complications of a paralysis attack.
