Hemiplegia after a cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as stroke, refers to the paralysis or severe weakness on one side of the body. This condition occurs due to brain damage from interrupted blood flow, which can affect motor control and sensory functions. The extent of hemiplegia can vary, potentially involving the arm, leg, and facial muscles. Rehabilitation is crucial for recovery, as the impact on an individual's mobility and daily life can be profound.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches hemiplegia following a cerebrovascular accident through the prism of energy pathways and bodily harmony. It views such paralysis as a result of disrupted Qi and Blood flow due to internal blockages or external pathogenic factors.
TCM seeks to discern the specific disharmony pattern behind the symptoms, such as Stagnation or Deficiency, to tailor a treatment plan. This plan aims to restore the flow of Qi and Blood, thus aiding the recovery of movement and function.
