World Stroke Day
In order to call for greater public awareness of stroke on a global scale, the World Stroke Organization has designated October 29 every year as "World Stroke Day", and October 29, 2021 is the 16th "World Stroke Day" with the theme of "Be alert to stroke symptoms, identify and treat as soon as possible."
High incidence and high risk of stroke
The global burden of disease research data shows that the prevalence of ischemic stroke in China in 2019 is 1700/100,000 (age-standardized rate of 1256/100,000), and the prevalence of hemorrhagic stroke is 306/100,000 (age-standardized rate of 215/100,000).
Data from the “Screening and Intervention Project for People at High Risk of Stroke” shows that the standardized prevalence of stroke among people aged 40 and over in China has increased from 1.89% in 2012 to 2.58% in 2019. From this, it is estimated that the number of people over 40 years old in China who are currently suffering from stroke and who have suffered from stroke is about 17.04 million, which has brought a heavy burden to the family and society.
Although stroke is an important cause of death and disability among Chinese residents, stroke is also a preventable and controllable disease. Early detection and timely and correct intervention can be effective for the sequelae of stroke. Let's learn stroke related knowledge by reading this article.
Cerebral Stroke, commonly known as "stroke", also known as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is an acute cerebrovascular disease. It is a group of diseases that cause brain tissue damage due to sudden rupture of blood vessels in the brain or vascular obstruction.
There are two types of stroke: one is ischemic stroke caused by blood vessel obstruction; the other is hemorrhagic stroke caused by hemorrhage. Either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke can cause abnormal brain function.
Common symptoms of stroke: including inability to move one limb or weakness on one side of the body, inability to understand other people's words, inability to speak, dizziness, inability to see one side of the body, etc.
Risk factors for stroke: high blood fat, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, psychological stress, smoking and drinking, excessive weight, staying up late, lack of exercise, unreasonable diet, etc.
Stroke usually develops rapidly (a few seconds to a few minutes), but it can also be a symptom that progresses slowly. Some patients have mild symptoms in the early stages of a stroke.
The Chinese Stroke Society issued the following "BE FAST formula" for identifying early symptoms of stroke:
"B"-Balance refers to the balance, the loss of balance or coordination, and sudden difficulty in walking;
"E"-Eyes refers to the eyes, sudden changes in vision, difficulty INseeing objects;
"F"-Face refers to the face, the face is asymmetrical, and the mouth is skewed;
"A"-Arms refers to the arms. Sudden weakness or numbness in the arms usually appears on one side of the body;
"S"——Speech refers to language, which is vague and cannot understand other people's language;
"T"-Time refers to time. The above symptoms indicate that a stroke may occur. Please do not wait for the symptoms to disappear on their own. Dial Emergency Call for medical assistance immediately.
①Cultivate a healthy lifestyle and conduct regular screening for risk factors of stroke to achieve early detection, early prevention, and early diagnosis.
②Control blood pressure, eat healthy, control blood sugar, quit smoking and limit alcohol, exercise properly, control weight, control cholesterol, etc.
③In autumn and winter, pay attention to cold and warm, beware of colds and respiratory diseases.
④Maintain emotional stability, prevent overwork, avoid sitting for a long time, and have regular health checkups.
⑤ Pay attention to strokes caused by heart diseases, such as atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease, patent foramen ovale, etc. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., you should go to the hospital for regular follow-up visits to prevent and treat problems as soon as possible.
Stroke patients often have various sequelae, including limb dysfunction, slurred speech, etc., and timely and standardized rehabilitation treatment is essential for the recovery of stroke sequelae. Rehabilitation treatment for stroke includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy, orthodontic therapy, and rehabilitation care.
Modern rehabilitation theory and practice have proved that effective rehabilitation after stroke can speed up the process of rehabilitation and reduce functional disability. Standardized rehabilitation procedures and rehabilitation treatment programs are of great significance for reducing the disability rate of acute cerebrovascular disease and improving the life quality of patients.

Helping physical rehabilitation training
Heal Force HF3000 EMG Biofeedback Instrument can convert physiological activities such as electromyography, muscle tension, and joint range of motion that the patient is not aware of into information such as sound, light, and images that can be recognized by people, and then let the patient learn to control their body according to these signals, relearn correct and effective exercise methods, establish or strengthen the patient's ability to control the paralyzed limbs or damaged muscles, improve the motor function of the paralyzed limbs, and help patients with movement disorders caused by Stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinson and other diseases to adjust their body functions.
Stroke is a disease caused by multiple factors such as lifestyle, environment, genetics, etc. Active early control of stroke risk factors and standardized stroke treatment can effectively reduce the damage caused by stroke and improve the prognosis of stroke. I hope that the above-mentioned knowledge about stroke will be helpful to you. Wish that more people will learn to protect themselves and the people around them from stroke!
