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.

20th Century Death 410 million stroke deaths

An infographic from http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/
If you open the 20th Century Death in a new window you can see that 410 million persons died from stroke. This by itself is a useless number. We need it broken down by less than 3 days, 3-30 days, greater than 30 days. Hemorrhagic vs. ischemic. With that info from a Great Stroke Association we could determine where to focus our efforts. It would also point out incorrect cause of death. Anything greater than 3 days should have the real cause of death, by that time stroke is no longer the cause, regions of the brain have shut down causing death. Old age is no longer allowed on death certificates, stroke should not be allowed either.
This is the infographic directly:
