Deans' stroke musings: Long-term rehabilitation management of stroke: A review of the evidence

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.

Long-term rehabilitation management of stroke: A review of the evidence

When the hell are stroke doctors going to realize that you have to intervene much earlier in the process to get decent recovery prospects. Like stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Less dead neurons would lead to a much better chance of recovery.
It's an incredibly simple cause and effect.

Abstract: Articles in this journal issue review the evidence on the effectiveness of treatments provided 6 months or more following the onset of stroke. Topics include: long-term rehabilitation management of stroke patients; cardiovascular conditioning for comfortable gait speed and total distance walked; resistance training for gait speed and total distance walked; systematic review of the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions in the treatment of spasticity of the hemiparetic lower extremity; functional electrical stimulation for improving gait; systematic review and meta-analysis of constraint-induced movement therapy in the hemiparetic upper extremity; evidence for therapeutic interventions for hemiplegic shoulder pain; therapeutic interventions for aphasia initiated more than six months post stroke; and effectiveness of psychological interventions in chronic stage of stroke. In addition, two feature article examine the: (1) relation between the upper extremity synergistic movement components and its implication for motor recovery in poststroke hemiparesis and (2) compelled body weight shift approach in rehabilitation of individuals with chronic stroke. Individual articles may be available for document delivery under accession numbers J65516 through J65526.
