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.

Can Neuroscience Improve Education?

This should be translatable into a cognitive stroke protocol.

I'm only highlighting some of the more useful ones post-stroke.
The important point is that a series of experiments show learning is stronger when these larger circuits are utilized. The following are examples where a physical movement is added to purely mental processes and increases the brain circuit and the learning.
  • B0005925 TeachingVisualizing a future high jump, the jump improves 35%. If a hand motion is added to the visualizing it increases to 45%
  • Two classes were taught arithmetic. The one where the teacher used hand gestures to explain learned it 50% better.
  • Clenching the right hand while learning, increased learning in the left brain for memory of an event or action. Clenching the left hand increased learning in the right brain for later memory recollection.
  • Chewing gum decreased reaction time for a variety of cognitive tests.
  • Children taught mathematics using hand gestures learned better.
  • Elderly with intractable pain, offered a wide range of therapy modalities at once, did better with more modalities regardless of which ones.
  • If the learning or perception testing is done on an emphasized beat, the learning or perception is much greater than on the other beats, or without rhythm.
  • Training of melodic singing is increased if using hand motions as well.
