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.

Home-Based Auditory Stimulation Training for Gait Rehabilitation of Chronic Stroke Patients

No self-prescribing, your doctor controls everything.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of home-based auditory stimulation on walking performance and to determine its clinical feasibility for chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. [Subjects] The subjects of this study were 20 chronic stroke patients. [Methods] The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=10) used over the ground gait training with a metronome beat, and the control group (n=10) which performed over the ground gait training. [Result] The affected side single support time, affected side single support time ratio, and gait velocity of both groups were significantly improved when compared with their respective values before the experiment. Affected side stride length, non-affected side stride length, and stride length ratio of the experimental group were significantly different between before and after the experiment. Comparison of the spatial-temporal gait parameters and symmetry ratios between the experimental group and the control group after the exercise showed a significant difference in affected stride length, non affected stride length, stride length ratio, affected single support time, non affected single support time, single support time ratio, and gait velocity. [Conclusion] These findings suggest that the home-based auditory stimulation training more effectively improves the walking performance of chronic stroke patients than gait training without auditory stimulation.
