patients with cerebral hemorrhage cannot move their hands if they are in a deep coma. occasionally, it may be a reflex such as making a fist, or it may be caused by excessive muscle tension, or it may be a pathological reflex of the human body, or a primitive reflex.

the human body has several primitive reflexes, the most important of which is the strong grip reflex. just like when a child or baby is born from the mother's body, he can grasp it with one finger. in this case, it is a primitive reflex of the human body, and it doesn't mean anything, unless the hand can make a fist and unclench it, it can gradually express a waking state. if the hand can only grasp but not let go, this is not a relatively good phenomenon. therefore, patients with deep coma due to cerebral hemorrhage still need to be actively treated, paying attention to the corresponding flexibility and opening and closing degree of the hand, and making a comprehensive evaluation. more clinical significance.
