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.

Stroke recovery and rehabilitation, second edition

I most assuredly am not going to read this book. It likely contains existing guidelines which are a complete failure since only 10% get to full recovery. Only $225.00. Ask your doctor to followup with the authors and ask how many survivors got to full recovery using techniques from this book.

Abstract: This comprehensive reference book covers all aspects of stroke rehabilitation, from neurophysiology of stroke through the latest treatments and interventions for functional recovery and restoration of mobility. It examines risk factors, epidemiology, prevention, and neurophysiology as well as complementary and alternative therapies, functional assessments, care systems, ethical issues, and community and psychosocial reintegration. The second edition, which includes free access to an e-book version with every print purchase, is completely updated to reflect recent advances in scientific understanding of neural recovery and growing evidence for new clinical therapies. The text continues to provide in-depth information on the assessment and management of all acute and long-term stroke-related impairments and complications including cognitive dysfunctions, musculoskeletal pain, and psychological issues. It also features expanded coverage of key issues such as the role of robotics and virtual reality in rehabilitation. New chapters have been added to cover fields of recent exploration including transcranial magnetic stimulation, biomarkers, and genetics of recovery as well as essentials like the use of medication and the survivor's perspective.
Descriptor Terms: ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY, COMMUNITY INTEGRATION, ETHICS, EVALUATION, HEALTH CARE, HEALTH PROMOTION, INTERVENTION, MOBILITY, MOTOR SKILLS, NEUROLOGY, OUTCOMES, PHYSIOLOGY, PREVENTION, PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS, REHABILITATION SERVICES, ROBOTICS, SECONDARY CONDITIONS, STROKE.
