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.

Webinar: Model-Based Stroke Rehabilitation

It is simply a seminar you can see via the web

Title: Model-Based Stroke Rehabilitation
Speakers: B.J. Fregly, Ph.D. and Carolynn Patten, Ph.D., P.T.,
University of Florida
Time: Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time
Nothing in the registration suggests they are limiting it to medical personnel. It may be just a sales pitch, if so just drop off the presentation when selling starts.

Abstract

The goal of this webinar is to describe our vision for how patient-specific neuromechanical walking models could potentially be used to design customized rehabilitation interventions that normalize walking ability post stroke. The walking models will be informed by a patient's pre-intervention gait data (motion capture, ground reaction, and EMG), will account for the patient's neural control limitations and remaining capabilities, and will predict both the type (i.e., prescription) and amount (i.e., dosage) of intervention that should normalize a patient's walking speed and symmetry to the fullest extent possible. The presentation will be organized into two sections - a clinical section and a modeling section. The clinical section will cover general clinical observations related to stroke rehabilitation along with current challenges in designing effective interventions. The modeling section will focus on existing and imminent modeling capabilities available for predicting the best gait pattern a specific patient is theoretically capable of achieving, followed by a brief discussion of how these modeling techniques could potentially be implemented in OpenSim with the assistance of Matlab.
