The theoretical research on Yi He rehabilitation in staging treatment of post-stroke hemiplegia
Yi He Rehabilitation,which is based on traditional Chinese rehabilitation treatments and rehabilitation principles from modern medicine,is effective in staging treatment of post-stroke hemiplegia.This paper systematically discusses the origin and annotation of Yi and He from the perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine.The medicinal connection between Yi and the body and its function is related to unobstructed attunement.Based on the connotation of Yi and He,we believe that the pathogenesis of post-stroke hemiplegia is the comprehensive result of abnormal effects of Yi on the organism at the microscopic level and abnormal effects of He on function at the macroscopic level,featured as tense muscle movement and a pathological process of abnormal motion,including the disturbance of yang qi with body dysfunction,the disorder of spirit with sinews and vessels with diversion,and the variation of brain collateral with physical and mental inconsistency.By inducing relaxation and calmness,Yi He rehabilitation takes effect in staging treatment of post-stroke hemiplegia with characteristic mechanisms.First,by calming ascending yang and relaxing the disordered body in periods of relaxation,it can achieve the maintenance function of the kinematic chain peripherally with passive rehabilitation.Second,by calming the disordered spirit and relaxing the inhibited meridian sinews in spasmodic periods,it can reconstruct the neural plasticity of motor function centrally with assistive rehabilitation.Third,by calming damaged brain collateral and relaxing the impassable zang organs in the recovery period,it can close the central-peripheral-central loop of rehabilitation with active rehabilitation.
