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.

Analysis of heel strike

I wouldn't have to be my own therapist and doctor if they would do their f*cking jobs and write up publicly available and understandable stroke protocols.
When I walk my left heel contacts the ground first as the left picture shows, the foot is not aligned straight forward as in this picture but is slightly angled to the left. Spasticity is causing both of these problems. By walking this way I need good friction contact at that heel location because the forward momentum will flatten out the shoe and turn the shoe straight. This is my major problem when walking on ice, I have to completely adjust my walking to land with as flat a foot as possible.
My lower leg swing has my foot slightly to the inside of my knee and my knee is outside my hip.
I'm not sure how I'm going to correct this because I need to solve spasticity first. Fuck you William M. Landau for spouting off about spasticity and basically preventing continued research in the area.
