Mr. Qi, 66, who needs long-term rehabilitation after a sudden cerebral infarction, gave up halfway when everyone was helpless, and his 5-year-old granddaughter took up the post of "non-staff rehabilitation"
The miracle happened in only 1 month, Mr. Qi defeated hemiplegia and could walk 100 meters in one breath
Recently, a reporter from The Yangtze River Daily visited the rehabilitation departments of many hospitals in the city and found that medical staff are paying more and more attention to the role of psychological intervention in rehabilitation training, and the practice of asking family members to become "non-staff rehabilitation teachers" has become common.

The 66-year-old man suffered a sudden cerebral infarction
Give up rehabilitation
Mr. Qi suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage at home in August this year and was rushed to the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. After more than a week of treatment, he was out of danger of life, but developed the common sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage: hemiplegia, complete loss of consciousness in the left limb.
Mr. Qi felt very nervous and panicked. After the rehabilitation therapist Yu Lei found out, he often talked to Mr. Qi and encouraged him in addition to training, and after more than 20 days, Mr. Qi was able to sit up and stand.
Just when everyone was happy for him, Mr. Qi had mood swings again, and even the daily rehabilitation training was no longer cooperative.
Originally, Mr. Qi believed that "what is the point of training for such a long time that I can't recover?" In addition, he misses his 5-year-old granddaughter Meng Meng (pseudonym) and hopes to be discharged home as soon as possible.

"There's still one step to go to basic recovery, and you're home now, but you're going to give up." While patiently persuading Mr. Qi to adhere to the treatment, Yu Lei designed a "personality rehabilitation therapy" for him.
"The old man wants his grandson, then help him realize this wish", Yu Lei communicated with his family, and asked Meng Meng to accompany Mr. Qi to the hospital playground on weekends to do rehabilitation training.
On the afternoon of September 4, Mr. Qi saw Meng Meng on the playground, and a smile appeared on his face. In the day's rehabilitation training, Mr. Qi was particularly serious, and he also played games with Meng Meng and threw balls at each other.
After that, every day after kindergarten, Her grandmother took her to the playground to accompany her grandfather to do rehabilitation training and applaud her grandfather.
With motivation, Mr. Qi's training progress is obvious, and when he is discharged from the hospital on September 13, he can walk 100 meters in one breath.
Liao Weijing, director of the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of Zhongnan Hospital, said that in general hemiplegic patients, rehabilitation treatment takes at least two or three months, and it is very rare for Mr. Qi to basically restore limb motor function in one month. In addition to benefiting from the timely treatment of medical staff and professional, systematic and scientific rehabilitation training, it is also inseparable from the support and participation of family members.

Recently, the reporter visited the rehabilitation department of many hospitals in the city and found that the practice of asking family members to be "non-staff rehabilitation teachers" has a good effect.
In the Department of Pain Rehabilitation of Shouyi Branch of Wuhan Third Hospital, Rehabilitation Therapist Chen Yong was impressed by the 58-year-old patient Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu, a former entrepreneur, had a brain infarction at the beginning of this year. After waking up after treatment, he found himself unable to speak, half of his body could not move, his mood was very low, he often cried, and he did not respond to the instructions of the rehabilitation therapist at all.
Chen Yong and colleagues patiently gave Mr. Liu science popularization, while communicating with his family, asked Mr. Liu's son to accompany him to talk and do rehabilitation training, and Mr. Liu finally cheered up.
After 3 months, he can speak simple sentences, eat and go to the toilet by himself, and live a semi-self-care state.

These people and these periods
More prone to mood disorders
The doctor Xia Yang analyzed that most of the patients who came to the hospital to receive rehabilitation treatment were cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage patients, although most of them had suffered from chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia before, but they had little impact on life, so after sudden stroke, the psychological gap was very large.
In particular, some people with strong personalities and successful careers are more likely to cause anxiety and depression and resist rehabilitation training.
She introduced that there are two periods of recovery that are most prone to emotional disorders -
First, the disease has just passed the acute stage and turned into the rehabilitation period, and the patient has a psychological gap, and at the same time, he does not understand the disease and the rehabilitation effect, and is prone to low mood. After popular science education and encouragement, most of them can restore confidence;
Second, after a period of rehabilitation training, I feel that the recovery progress has not reached my expectations, and I am prone to low emotions, which require targeted encouragement.

"Generation gap-free therapy"
It is becoming popular in rehabilitation medicine
"About 70% of stroke patients may have psychological problems during the recovery period, mainly depression. While rehabilitating, it is crucial to provide them with 'psychological massage'. Yang Tangzhu, director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital, said.
"Common sequelae in stroke patients include speech disorders, swallowing disorders, hemiplegia, etc. You think that when people reach middle age and old age, they suddenly need to re-learn to speak, eat, and walk like young children, and how much impact on their psychology. Yang Tangzhu said.
Yang Tangzhu mentioned an interesting phenomenon:
Middle-aged and young people have mood swings during the rehabilitation period, and ask their spouses to encourage them, the effect is very good;
For middle-aged and elderly people, the support and encouragement of grandchildren is the most obvious effect.
