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#4 - stroke rehab

Its getting close to the end of the biking season, about 45 degrees out today. Solved the loose seat by buying a vise-grip to clamp onto the nut side of the quick release. Feels much better not having the seat twist under me. Biked around the parking lot and one of the 2 foot wide unevenly paved walking paths. 15 minutes in total.  The left foot kept slipping forward on the pedal causing me to stop numerous times, eventually caused me to fall, again twisting to land on my left butt cheek, no harm done. It just means I will be getting a set of toe clips.  BS(before stroke) I would bike to work from March thru November, layering up the clothes and gloves, I bought a rain cap for my bike helmet just to prevent the cold air from rushing thru the helmet air slits and freezing my bald head, that worked to about 20 degrees, ear head bands would be needed below that.  I'll probably try a couple more weekends, I'll spend 30 minutes wrestling on a finger glove. Maybe get one of those bike trainers for the winter. Nothing here is to suggest this is a valid science-based therapy.
