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.

BioSensics LEGSys™ Fast, Easy, Affordable and Portable Gait Analysis

Will your therapist be using this for your objective gait analysis if they don't like the
1.   Sensoria™ Fitness Socks or
2.  A gait abnormality measure based on root mean square of trunk acceleration or
 3.  Simulation of normal and pathological gaits using a fusion knowledge strategy  or
4. gait monitoring sensor research?
While they may be able to look at your walking and know that it's not correct, that's not good enough. They need to be able to document exactly what is wrong. How the hell else are they going to be able to give you a stroke protocol to correct your gait problems? I still don't walk correctly because my gait was never analyzed and given very specific corrective exercises. This proves exactly why only 10% get close to full recovery.
 And just because spasticity is screwing up your gait is not a reason for your therapist not to have walking protocols.
