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.

Understand, explain, predict stroke rehabilitation

I know this has become obsessive with me but someone has to point out the stupidity of it all. I heard about this again listening to a scientist on the radio. So right now we don't understand anywhere enough about the brain to explain what is going on when damaged, until that occurs we won't be able to make predictions. This once again points out the need for a longitudinal research study and a repository of all the case studies.
But first we need a valid stroke damage diagnosis.

Theories are analytical tools for understanding, explaining, and making predictions about a given subject matter.

    A stroke diagnosis won't help. Because of how complicated the brain is, understanding about a brain that is working correctly needs to be 1st priority. Believe me, the medical community is working on it. You're just not seeing results as fast as you'd like.

    But Glynis, this would be a damage diagnosis, if doctors and therapists don't know the difference between penumbra damage and dead brain damage they can't even figure out what is possible and why their therapies don't work.
