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.

A Novel Study on Natural Robotic Rehabilitation Exergames using the unaffected Arm of Stroke Patients

It is only 7 pages.With any decent stroke association at all they could write up this idea into a stroke protocol and include these other similar ipsilateral ideas.

Abstract—It is well known that home exercise is as good as
rehab center. However, people with severe stroke typically lack
the ability to move their affected arm, and hence they need
a very special rehabilitation program that usually available in
hospitals or professional centers. Therapists train the affected
hand of those patients by using robotic-assisted therapy devices,
or sometimes by holding the affected arms of the patients
and stretching it for them. However, such robotic devices and
professional therapists are not available at home. In this study,
we design and implement a low-cost rehabilitation glove to
meet the needs of those patients who have paralysis in their
affect hand. The novelty of this glove is that it is to be worn
on the unaffected hand which acts as a natural robotic arm
during the rehabilitation session. The glove is equipped with FSR
sensors that measure the forces exerted by the affected hand
on the unaffected hand. A virtual reality rehabilitation game
is developed using Microsoft Kinect to facilitate the exercises
and motivate the patients. The system is tested on three patients
for six weeks. Objective measurements showed that patients
have significantly improved over the study period. Moreover, the
patients themselves gave a positive feedback about the whole
system; wearing the glove on the unaffected hand made their life
easier and let them enjoyed the rehabilitation sessions.
