Deans' stroke musings: Why you could be heading for an early grave if you can't get off the floor without using your hands

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.

Why you could be heading for an early grave if you can't get off the floor without using your hands

Thats me, I guess I'm doomed to an early death. Ask your doctor how to prevent it. I can get down to the floor without using my hands, pretty much by falling on my butt.

Simple test asked 50 to 80-year-olds to sit on the floor and stand up with as little support as possible

Adults who needed to use a number of aids such as their hands and knees were six times more likely to die than those who didn't

The control group was healthy senior citizens living in the community so these findings don't apply to the physically disabled.
