Stroke Sequelae

Stroke sequelae refer to the residual impairments and disabilities that may persist after a stroke, affecting various aspects of physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. Common sequelae include hemiparesis (weakness on one side of the body), spasticity, sensory deficits, balance and coordination problems, speech and language difficulties, cognitive impairments, and emotional changes such as depression and anxiety. These challenges can significantly impact one’s ability to perform daily activities, participate in social interactions, and achieve independence.

• Acupuncture: In the context of stroke sequelae, acupuncture can help improve motor function, reduce spasticity, alleviate pain, enhance circulation, and support the central and peripheral nervous system and overall recovery. By targeting specific acupoints associated with motor control, sensation, and emotional well-being, acupuncture aims to promote recovery and adjust imbalances contributing to stroke sequelae.
• Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy focuses on restoring mobility, function, and independence through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional training. In the context of stroke sequelae, physiotherapy aims to improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and gait patterns, thereby enhancing overall physical functioning and quality of life. Physiotherapists work closely with individuals to develop customized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and goals, empowering them to regain optimal function and mobility.

Acupuncture and physiotherapy can address a wide range of stroke sequelae, including:

• Muscle weakness and paralysis
• Spasticity and muscle stiffness
• Sensory deficits and numbness
• Balance and coordination problems
• Speech and language difficulties
• Cognitive impairments and memory deficits
• Depression, anxiety, and emotional changes
