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.

Multitasking stroke rehab

Went to a Paula Cole concert tonight, the 1 hour ride down there and back involved many many flexions and extensions of my left hand fingers. The concert itself  had me either vibrating my left leg up and down or dorsiflexing my left foot. At the same time I flattened my left hand on my right thigh and used my right hand to keep it flat and have the thumb extended away from the first finger.  Your doctor if any good at all would know how many hours you need to hold your spastic hand flat to stop the spasticity. But they know absolutely f*cking nothing about how to cure spasticity.
Stopped at the Jolly Pumkin afterwards and had a berserker.

    Paula Cole is from the town next to us. I like to clasp my hands together with my fingers intertwined. Relaxes the spasticity every time (and you can do it lying down in bed, meditating, or praying. "Berserker" is a great name for a beer (or any drink).
