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.

Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission - Stroke Rehabilitation

I've seen this a number of times from medical centers touting that they received this accreditation.  I could find no way to see what kind of stuff they look at in stroke rehabilitation to get a Gold Seal. My opinion is that no hospital should because I have never heard of a single survivor who received any decent information on how to rehabilitate. That may be a bit extreme but I'll throw the bomb anyway. and let someone prove me wrong.

I looked for sites that were certified in stroke rehabilitation in my area and the 2 places I went to were not listed. I have no idea what certification means.

    Humm. Not sure if the place I was at was listed but I think I got really good information and a whole lot better while at Barrow's Neurological Institute part of St. Joe's Phoenix...for me it was the place to be. I traveled from CA to have my surgery there and was glad when I started rehab they knew what they were doing. Overall...very good hospital experience!!
