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.

4 Easy At-work Exercises


I absolutely loved #3, you could make it infinitely harder by using a styrofoam cup and then add a liquid. Ask your therapist for ideas.

From caring.com
If your job involves sitting or standing in one place all day, it may seem impossible to stay fit. There are, however, some exercises that are easy to do while at work, even if you can’t get up and move around much. Try these four simple exercises and start feeling better about yourself and your job:
  1. ·      Get rid of your chair for a short time each day—form a sitting position, but without your chair to support you.
  2. ·      Take the stairs instead of the elevator, and try to get an extra few flights of stairs in during lunch, or on a break.
  3. ·      Hold an object, such as an empty coffee mug, between your knees while sitting, and alternate between squeezing your knees together tightly and partially releasing.
  4. ·         Stretch your arms and wrists by holding one arm in front of you, palm up. Grab your fingers with your other hand and alternate between pulling them toward you and pushing them down.
