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.

Baby steps in biking - stroke rehab

You may remember a year ago my epic failure at biking;
http://oc1dean.blogspot.com/2011/08/epic-failure-at-bike-stroke-therapy.html
When I moved to Michigan I resolved to try again and I brought my bike along.  After three months I finally got the bike in shape again and today lowered the seat all the way down, I usually have it 6 inches up to accommodate my long legs. This allowed me to have it like the original walker bikes. Although in my case I just use my right leg.

















I successfully walked my bike the length of the parking lot and back - 400 yards, balancing for long stretches as I rolled along. Next time I'll actually get my right foot on the pedal.  Maybe speed will be in my future again, I want to have the wind blowing thru my helmet and ruffling the sparse hairs on my bald head again.
