Hemiplegia after stroke refers to the partial or total paralysis of one side of the body following a stroke. Strokes, caused by interruptions to the blood supply of the brain, can result in significant neurological damage, leading to hemiplegia.
This condition affects the limbs on one side of the body, severely impacting a person's ability to perform daily activities and maintain independence. Recognizing the signs and seeking immediate treatment is crucial for recovery and rehabilitation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique perspective on hemiplegia after stroke, viewing it through the lens of Qi (vital energy) and Blood flow disruption within the body's meridians.
TCM theory suggests that a stroke disrupts the balance of Yin and Yang, leading to blockages or deficiencies that manifest physically as hemiplegia. Identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony is essential in TCM, as it guides the treatment approach, aiming not only to alleviate symptoms but also to address the root cause and promote overall well-being.
