What Is Spastic Quadriplegia?

Spastic paralysis is also known as upper motor neuron palsy and hard paralysis. The upper motor neuron includes the cone system and extrapyramidal system. The nerve fibers of the cone system are combined into a conductive bundle and reach the anterior horn of the spinal cord through the brain stem and spinal cord. The outer cone system cooperates with the cone system to coordinate movement. Impairment anywhere in this pathway can lead to spastic paralysis. Traumatic or neurological diseases can be caused. The clinical manifestations are high muscle tone, enhanced tendon reflexes, reduced superficial reflexes, and positive pathological reflexes, and "disuse muscle atrophy" occurs in the later stages.

Spastic paralysis

1, pay attention to dietary fiber, increase gastrointestinal motility, food should not be too fine to prevent constipation.

2. Drink plenty of water and eat semi-liquid foods. Paralyzed patients often have the fear of urinating too much and drink as little water as possible. This is not good for the patients. The paralyzed patients should have sufficient water supply. The patients drink 1-2 cups of saline in the morning. Prevents constipation.

3. Nutrition-rich and digestible food should be supplied, and the supply of protein, inorganic salts and total heat energy must be met.

4, according to the cause of paralysis, adjusting diet should be avoided. Such as stroke patients should control salt and cholesterol intake and increase foods rich in B vitamins. ^[2]
