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.

Action observation - walking at Winnipeg Folk Festival

This was probably the best use of my time as I waited between sets. It did require having a clear view as people entered/exited the seating areas.
Proof of efficacy here;

Action observation as a stroke therapy



I had to determine which type of person to watch.
Men, no. Men were usually not followed, they wore shorts past the knee, along with socks and shoes.
Women with long skirts or harem pants, no. No view of leg.
The two women walking by with the back half of a horse attached to them with moveable rear legs were entertaining, but not useful.

The best walking strides to watch were the young women
Pros;
1. They were usually wearing sandals or going barefoot so there were no blocking views of the ankle.
2.  They were wearing short shorts or bikini bottoms allowing full view of the upper leg muscles
3. High heels were non-existant so bad form was not observed.
Cons;
1. Distractions were considerable, staying focused was a problem. But it does provide therapy for your attention problems.
2. Multiple persons walking by at a time making it hard to follow a complete series of strides.


Now if we just had some technically proficient therapists that could create animated gifs we could do therapy anyplace.
