2. Reasonable distribution of diet structure. Patients with muscular atrophy need high-protein and high-energy dietary supplements to provide substances necessary for the reconstruction of nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells, thus enhancing muscle strength and growing muscles. At the beginning, we should take foods rich in high protein, vitamins, phospholipids and trace elements, actively cooperate with medicated diets, such as yam, coix seed, lotus plumule, dried tangerine peel, radix Pseudostellariae, lily, etc., and abstain from spicy food and alcohol and tobacco.
In the middle and late stage, semi-liquid food and liquid food with high protein, high nutrition and high energy are mainly used, and the way of eating less and eating more meals is adopted to maintain the nutrition and water-electrolyte balance of patients.
3. combine work and rest. Avoid compulsive exercise, because compulsive exercise is not conducive to the recovery of skeletal muscle function and the regeneration and repair of muscle cells due to skeletal muscle fatigue.
4. Prevent colds and gastroenteritis. Patients with muscular atrophy have low autoimmune function or some kind of immune deficiency. Once they catch a cold, their condition will be aggravated, the course of disease will be prolonged, muscle weakness and jumping muscles will be aggravated, especially patients with bulbar palsy are prone to pulmonary infection. If not prevented in time, the prognosis will be poor and even life-threatening.
5, gastroenteritis can lead to intestinal bacterial dysfunction, especially viral gastroenteritis has different degrees of damage to spinal cord anterior horn cells, which makes muscle jumping worse, muscle strength decreased, and the condition is repeated or aggravated. Maintaining normal digestive function of patients with muscular atrophy is the basis of rehabilitation.
