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.

Stroke survival is leading to a crisis in after care

If they would think about it just a little bit. The solution is to stop the neuronal cascade of death resulting in much less disability. The therapy route barely helps. Force your doctor to expend some mental energy and create a strategy for reducing disability from stroke.

The Stroke Foundation says increasing survival rates are leading to a crisis in after-stroke care.
The charity says health and community support systems are struggling to keep pace with demand because of increasing survival rates.
More than 300,000 Australians are now said to be finding it difficult to access the help they need to perform day-to-day activities, such as dressing or feeding themselves.
A Stroke Foundation report says more than 80 per cent of stroke survivors have health needs which are not being met, and that three-quarters are missing out on emotional support.
The foundation blames a lack of government investment, and that the number of people continuing to live after their stroke is set to double in the next 20 years.
