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.

Finger Rehabilitation Glove.

I really like the matching movements from the good hand to the paretic hand. When will the US get this? For those of us that need to create hard neuroplasticity of finger control because of dead area this would be wonderful. Fom Nov 2007, So where is it at and has anybody used this in therapy?

The ‘Upper Limb Rehabilitation Suit’ and now the ‘Finger Rehabilitation Glove’ adds one more good contribution to rehabilitation from Activelink Co. Ltd., one of Panasonic’s venture companies. The glove imitates the movement of healthy hand and enables movement in the effected hand through artificial muscles. It gives an indication of next movement via lighting up the tips of the fingers in order to avoid any surprise movement for which you were not mentally prepared. Isn’t it a great idea?


Although this great effort is not on sale currently, but soon it will be there to increase the number of activities a person suffering with lower function of the limb due to paralyses, accident or any other disorder in a less cumbersome way.
