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.

Shoes for seniors go high-tech to prevent falls

You will need one of these since your therapists refuse to allow you to practice fall prevention or get  unstable shoes.  Once again working on compensation rather than recovery. But you really don't think your therapist and doctor will find out about this for 30 years unless you tell them?

Sensors and apps designed for seniors and their caretakers may be able to detect when falls occur, but Dr. Yonatan Manor wanted to take that a step further.
He assembled a team of doctors and engineers to prototype a smart shoe that they think might be able to prevent falls when they’re about to occur.
The so-called B-Shoe is a walking shoe that incorporates pressure sensors, a microprocessor, an algorithm, a motion device and a rechargeable battery. When the sensor and algorithm detect imbalance, they prompt the motion device to perform a backward step to help the wearer regain balance. It operates only when imbalance is detected and is designed for use by seniors or by people who are injured, physically challenged, sick or in post-surgery recovery.
According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults.
