Deans' stroke musings: Centre for Stroke Recovery begins major national expansion

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.

Centre for Stroke Recovery begins major national expansion

Yea for Canada. Much better than the isolated and uncoordinated efforts in the US. Failures once again for the US stroke associations in comparison.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for Stroke Recovery and the Canadian Stroke Network (CSN) have partnered to promote a major national expansion of stroke recovery research, beginning with $1 million in seed funding from the CSN over two years to bolster scientific efforts and bring together researchers across the country.
"Canada has a strong track record in doing research in stroke rehabilitation and recovery," says CSN Executive Director Katie Lafferty. "We are excited there is a mechanism to forge new partnerships, speed research progress and further strengthen the scientific community."
