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.
This is the same phenomenon as mirror therapy, no? Doing mirror therapy, I FEEL my left hand moving - proprioception AND the sense of touch have returned DURING therapy, but how many reps will it take to have it be true all the time.? I'm at about 50k reps.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's the same as mirror therapy but our doctors have no clue how to help us. As Peter Levine says, the specific number is 'lots'.
