During treatment, the rehabilitation therapist will stretch the patient's wrist joints and interphalangeal joints of the fingers into a weight-bearing position, and put the flexion spasticity into a weight-bearing position. The spasmodic five fingers should be pulled by gravity, and appropriate resistance exercises can be given if the muscle strength allows.
Occupational therapy: It is daily life ability training. According to the recovery of the patient's hand function, an occupational training program suitable for the individual is designed to train the patient's self-care ability such as eating, dressing, and toileting.
