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.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Stroke rehabilitation conducted by PNF method

PNF - (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) I did not have this but this article explains a lot.
http://www.rehmed.pl/images/upload/pdf_en/2005/1_2005/Pasiut.pdf

short excerpt here:
The PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation) is a method
used in post-stroke treatment, where
the functional therapy is a process of
gradual restitution of patient’s motor
abilities5,6,7. It is a method of neuromuscular
dysfunction treatment,
primarily by means of facilitating the
flow of information, mainly by the
stimulation of proprioceptors8. Restoration
of normal movement based on
movement patterns, basic principles
and techniques is directed towards
normalisation of muscle tone.

Possible exercises here: most of these require a second person,
