Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia, also called hemiplegia, refers to a movement disorder on one side of the upper and lower limbs, the facial muscles and the lower part of the tongue muscles. It is a common symptom of acute cerebrovascular disease. Although patients with mild hemiplegia can still move, they often flex their upper limbs, straighten their lower limbs, and paralyzed lower limbs take a half-circle step. We call this special walking posture a hemiplegia gait. Severe cases often cannot stay in bed and lose their ability to live. Modern medicine believes that hemiplegia is mostly caused by cerebrovascular disease, such as cerebrovascular rupture, embolism, spasm and other central nervous system diseases that cause dizziness, headache, vomiting, limb numbness, convulsions, paralysis, unconsciousness and even coma. Some patients died immediately. Chinese medicine believes that the cause of hemiplegia is due to damp sputum and qi deficiency, which results in liver yang hyperactivity and liver wind movement, which leads to qi and blood yin and yang disorders. The viscera is called the viscera when hemiplegia and coma are seen; the hemiplegia of the facial part or the face and the limbs, but without the coma is called the meridian. Massage therapy is mostly applicable to the latter. The common clinical symptoms are: half-limb limb failure, oblique mouth and eyes, language disorder, drooling of mouth corners, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by facial, numbness of hands, feet, heavy limbs, or finger tremor.
