Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,286 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.

Walking in the dark in the new snow - stroke rehab
I think this is going to be a regular occurrence, I need the exercise. We just got 3 inches of new snow, but I was very disappointed that it was no longer snowing. Pulled on my Neos overshoes and decided that the unshoveled sidewalks weren't challenging enough. I headed out to the loop trail in the woods. The flat effect of the dim light on the snow made it even more challenging since I couldn't tell any bumps or depressions. This ended up being extremely good therapy since the depth of the snow required me to lift the left foot properly for each step rather than swing the leg like a log and plow it thru the snow. There was no way to get lost since I could always see the lights of the apartments and if I injured myself I could drag myself back or compensate by calling on the phone for help. If I'm lucky this weekend I'll cross-country ski the longer loop trail. This is not any type of sanctioned or research validated therapy.
