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.

Movement Disorder Docs Meet Down Under

Ask your doctor what the latest is on spasticity as reported from this conference.
http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/MDS/39844?
Parkinson's Disease will get the main spotlight at the annual meeting of the Movement Disorder Society here next week, but dystonia, tics, ataxia, spasticity, and other disorders will share the stage.
About 2,300 doctors, scientists, and allied health professionals are expected to attend the 17th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders here at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, located at scenic Darling Harbour.
More than 1,300 posters will be presented during the 5-day meeting. Experts will highlight some of the presentations in guided poster tours. Attendees will also be able to review various movement disorders and state-of-the art treatments in various skills' workshops, invited lectures, and plenary sessions -- with this year's theme, "Clinicopathological Correlations in Movement Disorders."
