I probably spend an hour or two each day just flexing my hand open with my good hand. At a stroke meeting someone joked about seeing all the survivors flexing their hands open and closed. I know there is some science behind passively moving your muscles to start neuroplasticity. See here -
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15003755 With hand function probably being the most requested item to recover I wish there was some actual fact-based information on what needs to be done to recover it. It seems we are once again left hanging with 'We don't know, try something yourself'. As Sargent Schultz used to say, 'I know nuthing'.
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
