Intervention Effects of Fitness Qigong on Stroke Patients

Abstract

A stroke is a kind of illness that damages brain tissue and is brought on by an abrupt rupture or blockage of a cerebral blood vessel, which stops the blood flow to the brain. Stroke has a high incidence in China and patients generally have a poor prognosis. There are two methods for the treatment of stroke, drugs, and rehabilitation intervention, but the price of stroke drugs is high, and it is easy to produce many adverse reactions; Rehabilitation interventions, on the other hand, require patients to travel to the hospital on a regular basis, and many patients often interrupt their treatment plans due to travel inconveniences. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a rehabilitation method with high economic benefit for stroke patients and can be carried out at home. Many studies have pointed out that Fitness Qigong is of great help to the cardiopulmonary, motor, and non-motor functions of stroke patients. Therefore, this paper discusses in detail the improvement mechanism of Fitness Qigong on stroke patients and proposes exercise prescription for them, hoping to provide a reference guide for stroke rehabilitation.
