Effective Approach to Comprehensive Rehabilitation Management
On the path to health, rehabilitation management plays an important role, whether in dealing with the injuries caused by disease or in recovering from accidental injuries, and scientifically sound rehabilitation management is key to helping people regain their health and improve their quality of life. Practical approaches to various types of rehabilitation management will be elaborated below at multiple dimensions.
Professional medical monitoring and intervention
– Strict compliance with medical prescriptions: medicines often play a fundamental supporting role in the rehabilitation process. The medication is prescribed by the doctor on the basis of the patient ‘ s specific condition, physical function and test indicators, and the patient must take it on time and in accordance with his or her medical instructions. Diabetes, for example, require a daily, regular and quantitative reduction of sugar, either by insulin injection before meals or by oral sugar tablets after meals, to stabilize blood sugar levels. There is a high risk of excessive blood sugar volatility if the time or dose of the drug is changed at will, not only affecting the pace of rehabilitation but also causing a range of serious complications such as diabetes ketone acid poisoning. Moreover, in the case of a combination of drugs, more attention should be paid to the interaction between drugs, which, like some drugs, can increase or diminish the efficacy of the drug or even produce adverse effects, requiring careful consultation with doctors and strict control.
– Periodic and comprehensive medical examinations: periodic review is an important part of the direction of the control of rehabilitation. The respective review programmes for different diseases are focused on, for example, heart disease rehabilitation, where patients are required to perform regular electrocardiograms, cardiac gravitation, blood biochemical examinations (with a focus on indicators such as blood resin, myocardial enzymes, etc.). The EKG monitors the electrical activity of the heart in real time, and the cardiac gravitation visualizes the structure and functioning of the heart, while changes in blood indicators reflect, for example, heart metabolism and vascular health. Based on the results of these examinations, the doctor assesses the rehabilitation of the heart in a comprehensive manner and determines whether it is necessary to adjust the drug type, dosage or to further improve the rehabilitation programme. In the case of oncological patients, the review will focus on the number of oncological markers, changes in the tumour stoves in visual examinations (e.g. CT, PET-CT, etc.) in order to detect, in a timely manner, whether the tumour is re-emergence or transfer signs and to respond to them as soon as possible.
Targeted rehabilitation training implementation
– Multiple applications of physiotherapy:
– Electro-stimulatory therapy assistance: in the area of rehabilitation, it is widely used. For example, in cases of muscle atrophy and muscle incompetence due to nervous system damage, functional electro-stimulation can transmit specific currents to the corresponding muscle group via electrodes, trigger a rhythmic contraction of muscles and simulate normal motor-neurological impulses, both to prevent further muscle atrophy and to contribute to the gradual enhancement of muscle strength and mobility. In addition, ecstasy has a significant effect on the mitigation of chronic pain, which can interfere with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, help people with pain relief, such as sciatic neurological pain, post-operative pain, etc., and can be used to achieve some degree of relief.
– Thermal and cold treatments are coordinated: they play a unique role in accordance with the different stages of rehabilitation. Thermal therapy, such as heat dressing, wax therapy, infrared exposure, can contribute to local angiogenesis, speed up blood circulation, more rapid delivery of nutrients to damaged tissues, and contribute to dissipation of inflammation and tissue rehabilitation. For example, in the course of rehabilitation, patients with shoulder cycling are regularly exposed to the shoulder in infrared, which can effectively improve the rigidity of the shoulder, reduce pain and increase joint activity. Cold therapy, however, is often used in the early stages of acute injury, such as the initial 24 – 48 hours of ankle spraining, where local blood vessels can contract by cold dressing, and can reduce haemorrhage and swelling, creating good conditions for subsequent further rehabilitation.
– Individual sports rehabilitation programme:
– Step-by-step movement: the physical condition of each patient and the stage of rehabilitation vary, and sports rehabilitation programmes should be tailored and gradual. In the case of patients in the brain, for example, the early years of rehabilitation focus mainly on passive exercise in the bed, with family members or rehabilitation therapists helping the patient to exercise the four limb joints, to prevent twitching and muscle atrophy; the gradual transition to active exercise in the bed as the patient ‘ s body function improves, such as self-turning, sitting, etc.; and the subsequent training on standing by bed at short distances, slowly increasing the distance, speed and difficulty of walking, such as up and down stairs, and gradually returning to normal mobility. Similarly, in the case of post-bone fracture patients, minor activities of the adjacent joint are initially carried out on the basis of fractures and fixed conditions, before the initial recovery of the fracture is carried out, and a more intensive rehabilitation campaign is carried out to facilitate the full recovery of the body function.
– Specialized training in functional strengthening: specific training is also required for different functional impairments. For example, in cases where a person with a delicate hand condition is damaged, such as a hand fracture or a brain injury, which affects the hand function, rehabilitation training sessions are organized, for example, to collect beans, beads, chopsticks and pick-up items, with emphasis on the flexibility, coordination and strength of the finger of the hand; for patients with poor balance, balancing training is carried out, using devices such as balance sheets, balance mats, etc., from static to dynamic balance, to reduce the risk of accidents such as falling due to balance problems, and to ensure that the rehabilitation process progresses smoothly.
Lifestyle optimization adjustment
– Reasonable dietary and nutritional security:
– The principle of balanced nutritional intake: during rehabilitation, a reasonable diet is as important as a cornerstone. Adequate and high-quality protein ingestion, amino acids, such as chicken, fish, milk and beans, which are necessary for humans, can help to repair damaged body tissues and increase the body ‘ s immunity. At the same time, rich vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, C, E, etc.), minerals (e.g., potassium, magnesium, etc.) and dietary fibres, vitamins and minerals are involved in the numerous physical metabolic processes of the body, which promote intestinal creeping and contribute to the discharge of toxins from the body. Vitamin C, for example, has a positive effect on the healing of the wounds, and the recovery of the wounds can be accelerated by eating fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and strawberries. The choice of carbohydrates should be based on complex carbohydrates, such as wheat bread and oatmeal, which provide more sustainable energy than simple carbohydrates and have a more stable effect on blood sugar.
– Dietary suitability for special diseases: Some diseases have specific dietary requirements during rehabilitation. For example, high blood pressure patients are required to strictly control salt intake, reduce consumption of high salt foods such as pickles, pickles, sodium, etc., and avoid increasing blood pressure due to sodium intake; high blood resin patients are required to control fats, especially saturated fats and trans-fats, less eating fried foods, animal oils, etc., and to choose olive oils, fish oils, etc., which are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, to help regulate blood resin levels and to promote the rehabilitation of the cardiovascular system. In the case of patients with kidney diseases, the intake of proteins, phosphorus and other nutrients must be rationalized in the light of the kidney function, in order to prevent an increase in the kidney burden and to ensure a gradual improvement in the kidney function.
– Regularity and psychological adjustment:
– Capacity for the restoration of adequate sleep: sleep is a critical time period for self-rehabilitation and adjustment of the body, and it is important to ensure regular and adequate sleep during the rehabilitation phase. Every day, as long as possible, the time of rest shall be kept in order to provide a quiet, comfortable and sleep-friendly sleep environment, and to achieve a quality sleep of 7 – 8 hours per night. During sleep, the body accelerates metabolism, promotes the repair and regeneration of damaged cells and enhances the functioning of the immune system. The importance of the quality of sleep is an integral part of the management of rehabilitation, given the fact that chronic sleep deprivation reduces the resilience of the body, slows the recovery process and may even lead to a recurrence.
– The contribution of a positive mentality: the mental state of the patient has a direct impact on the effects of rehabilitation in the face of a long process of illness and rehabilitation. Maintaining a positive and optimistic mindset will mobilize the inner potential of the body and be more conducive to recovery. Patients can regulate their psychology in a number of ways, such as communicating with their family, friends, sharing their anger and grief in the process of rehabilitation, releasing psychological stress; participating in mutual assistance groups for patients, encouraging each other, sharing their rehabilitation experience and enhancing their confidence in rehabilitation; and carrying out a number of physical and psychological relaxation activities, such as meditation, deep breath, yoga, etc., to help alleviate the negative feelings of anxiety, depression, etc., in order to face the path of rehabilitation in a peaceful and positive manner.
In the light of the above, rehabilitation management is a systematic and comprehensive process that covers medical monitoring, rehabilitation training, lifestyle adjustments, etc. It is only when these links are closely integrated and optimized in the light of the individual situation that the best possible rehabilitation can be achieved by helping patients to recover from their early health and to embrace a better life.
