Fast ice stroking technique involves applying ice quickly to the skin over the flaccid muscles of stroke patients to stimulate muscle contraction and improve circulation. The therapist should use a small, ice-filled bag or ice cubes wrapped in a cloth, stroking the area in a rhythmic manner for a few minutes. This method can help activate the muscles and may encourage a response in the affected areas. It's essential to monitor the patient for discomfort and to ensure the technique is part of a broader rehabilitation program.
