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.

Walking and an aha moment

Finally figured out one of my problems with walking today. I was quite literally swinging my left leg like a log - very little knee bend.  It seems I was never getting weight on my left leg to the point where the knee would start to bend. Maybe this was compensation after I left therapy but my PT ex should have been able to point that out if we ever went walking together.  Now I'll have to work even more at my dorsiflexion since the toe will be needed to lift even more sooner.
I never got to late flatfoot. And toe off most assuredly does not occur.
From this site come the phases of walking, looking at foot placement.
