That is, the healthy side is below and the affected side is above. A low pillow should be used for the head. Put a pillow on your chest, let the affected shoulder stretch forward and the upper arm stretch on the pillow. Remember not to lie prone. Straighten your fingers, fully extend your elbows, be careful not to bend your fingers or hang your wrists, palm down, and place healthy upper limbs freely and comfortably. A soft pillow is placed under the affected thigh and calf, so that the hips can bend and rotate, the knees can bend naturally, the ankles can bend back as much as possible, and the healthy limbs can be placed naturally, which is suitable and comfortable.
Avoid crouching posture when lying on the healthy side, otherwise it will easily cause joint soft tissue atrophy and bedsore.
Patients with cerebral infarction (stroke) must change their positions regularly to avoid bedsores, especially in the acute stage. At first, you should turn over every two hours. When the patient can turn over and move on the bed, the interval can be extended until the patient is awake or feels uncomfortable and can change his position. Taking a correct posture to rest can not only alleviate the pain of patients, but also effectively prevent muscle relaxation and spasm, and avoid the occurrence of joint deformities, which has a great impact on their prognosis.
