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.

Shoe wear from stroke walking

About three months ago I bought a new pair of velcro shoes from Payless.

Only 29.99, compared to my first pair that were extra wide, extra deep for $140 this was a bargain. However the soles are a fairly soft manmade material and my good foot(right) heel strike wore down the heel until the air compartment in the heel showed thru. Filled it with Shoe Goo to keep it useable. I have no left foot heel strike. I'm sure a PT could tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong but that's not going to occur.

    You're good side is your right side? I've only met one other person who is left-side affected. Most people seem to be right-side affected.

    I buy a new pair of shoes ($90) every year to get rid of heels that are worn down. I like to walk fast and don't want ANYTHING to make my gait deteriorate. Pushing a wheelchair around the rehab hospital using one arm and one leg taught me I will do anything to stay out of a wheelchair.
