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.

Effects of Rehabilitation Program Using Complementary Therapy in Stroke Patients

Absolutely no clue what this means and no idea what language it is written in. So ask your doctor for a translation. What is complementary therapy other than what is popularly know as quackery?

Abstract
Background : Complementary therapy has increased in popularity among stroke patients. However, little is known about the effects of complementary therapy used for stroke patients in Thailand.
Objective : To explore the effects of the rehabilitation program using complementary therapy among stroke patients.
Method : This study employed a quasi-experimental study. The sample enrolled in this study included 60 stroke patients admitted in Thung Bo Paen
Rehabilitation Center, Lampang Province.
A purposive sampling
method was used for selecting the sample. The Bathel Index was used to assess activities of
daily living(ADL). Descriptive statistics the ANOVA repeated measures, and the Bonferroni
method were utilized for data analysis. Results :53.3 percent of the sample were male and
46.7 percent of those were female. The average age of the sample was 59.9 years (SD 11.01).
60 percent of the samples had duration of stroke less than 1 year and 20 percent of those had
duration of stroke 1-2 year. The ADL among 3 different times(admission, one month, and
three months) were significantly different (p<0.001). The one-month ADL was significantly
higher than admission ADL and the three-month ADL was significantly higher than the one-month
ADL(p<0.001). Conclusion : Results from this study indicate that the specific rehabilitation
program used in this study is beneficial in stroke rehabilitation by increasing ADL that consequently
improves quality of life among stroke patients.
