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.

Taking Stock of the Latest Research in Parkinson’s Disease Management: A Clinical Update From Washington, DC

Where the fuck is the similar presentation for stroke? We have no one in the ASA, NSA or WSO that is competent enough to put together a 13 minute presentation on this? THAT IS A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE PRESIDENTS OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS.

  1. Dean,
    I listened to the link, but NA to me since I am not MS, however, I checked for other info on Peerviewpress.com info and found this one on spasticity:
    http://peerviewpress.com/addressing-lower-limb-spasticity-individuals-neurologic-disorders-clinical-pearls-optimal-management?person_id=&specialty=78&source=OCME#featured-presentations

    I do all the stuff they talk about. I take 40mg of baclofen per day and I am getting Botox #7 on 6/19/15 and will be tested for a baclofen pump next week. So my physiatrist is trying everything they talk about.

    None of this really fixes anything, but it appears to be all the doctors have to offer besides referring me to OT & PT, which I do 2 to 4 hours a day. My experience is slow steady improvement since my stroke 2 years ago, Like you often say, the medical community really does not know how to fix hemiplegia and is very frustrating, since I have a long way to go to fully recover.

    Keep up the good work & the pressure on!
