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.

For the Elderly, Falls May Prove Deadly

And yet our physical therapists are complicit in helping stroke survivors walk again. Thus putting them at extreme risk of falling and dying. Did you sign a release form acknowledging that you accepted that risk?

Is your therapist working on fall prevention with any of these?
It seems to me that if you're are going to get better at walking you have to get a lot closer to falling by massive number of perturbations in your gait. Like this;

Motorized Shoes Help Elderly Prepare for Walking Accidents
Or this;
The effect of vibrotactile feedback on postural sway during locomotor activities
Or this;
Clinic helps stroke patients recover balance, avoid future falls
Or these;
1. Unstable Shoes Increase Energy Expenditure of Obese Patients
2. Compelled BodyWeight Shift Technique to Facilitate Rehabilitation of Individuals with Acute Stroke
3. Documenting abnormal anticipatory control prior to gait initiation in sub-acute stroke
4.  spnKiX motorized shoes edge closer to production
5. Motivation through Inclusion of Failure in Stroke Rehabilitation 
Or this;
Training to walk amid uncertainty with Re-Step: measurements and changes with perturbation training for hemiparesis and cerebral palsy
