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.

high beds for stroke rehab

The hotels I've been staying at for work have extremely tall beds. I can't sit on the edge and get my clothes on. However it does allow me to  lay on my stomach and have my left arm hang completely straight with just my fingers brushing the floor.  I wish I knew how many hours I would have to hang my arm in that position in order to stop my f*cking spasticity. What's worse is that there is no one in the whole universe that has any clue how to solve spasticity. Except for Dr. William M. Landau who basically states that spasticity is good for you. In my opinion he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother?

He really needs to relook at whatever research he is citing and talk to some intelligent survivors.

    No Dean, That doctors needs to experience spasticity first hand and then he'll stop the nonsense coming out of his mouth.
