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.

The Brain's Recovery from Stroke

This is so incredibly obvious, you have to look at the brain scans that show dead areas vs. penumbra and then you might be able to predict recovery.

One of the mysteries in clinical neurology is how the brain recovers—or doesn’t recover—from injury. Two people may have seemingly similar strokes involving the motor area of the right cerebral hemisphere, resulting in the inability to use the left arm and hand. Over the next three months, Subject A makes a slow but consistent recovery, and within six months is using his right hand almost normally. The other, Subject B, has made very little recovery, and is still quite disabled at six months.

This is so simple, Subject As' neurons recovered, Subject Bs' neurons went down the cascade of death. All you have to do is figure out how to control the path they take.
Rest at the link.
