1. Diet care: Paraplegic patients often suffer from constipation due to uncoordinated anal sphincter, long-term bed rest and slow intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the diet. Patients should eat more fruits, vegetables and foods rich in cellulose, and should not rely on laxatives and anal suppositories. In addition, we should pay attention to food hygiene and nutrition, prevent overeating and avoid diarrhea caused by improper diet. Because paraplegic patients lose control of their stools and are inconvenient to move, once diarrhea occurs, it will bring a lot of trouble to patients and their families.

2. Prevention of infection: Paraplegic patients are prone to upper respiratory tract and urinary tract infections and bedsores due to mobility inconvenience, long bed rest time and little outdoor activities. Patients should be encouraged to actively exercise their upper limbs in bed. Such as using dumbbells, tensioners, bed handles, etc. And should take a wheelchair to participate in outdoor activities as soon as possible to enhance physical resistance and reduce the chance of infection.

3. Functional exercise: Due to the loss of limb motor function below paraplegia level, patients are prone to muscle atrophy, joint stiffness or flexion contracture, foot drop and so on. We should not only help patients to exercise their limbs passively, but also maintain the functional position of joints, such as keeping the ankle joint at about 90 degrees to prevent sagging. According to the requirements of rehabilitation and the patient's situation and interest, gradually increase the intensity of training and increase the coordinated training of muscle strength and nervous system. Exercise patients can turn over independently without accompanying them.

4. Skin care: paraplegic patients are prone to bedsores due to loss of skin sensation below paraplegic level and poor neurotrophic function. Therefore, it is very important to turn over and massage the skin regularly. Patients should be encouraged to massage the skin of the compressed parts regularly, and practice moving the lower limbs to turn over, sitting up in bed, supporting the trunk with both hands and lifting the buttocks to reduce local oppression.

5. Safety nursing: Paraplegic patients lose skin sensation and are inconvenient to move. At ordinary times, we should not only prevent accidental injuries such as burns, falls and bumps, but also prevent self-injury and suicide. When unattended, all kinds of instruments should be convenient for patients to access and the items should be placed firmly. Patients should also have a sense of self-protection and consciously adjust their psychological emotions.
