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.

Beta/Theta Neurofeedback Training Effects in Physical Balance of Healthy People

No clue how this neurofeedback was done.  I've only written 16 posts on biofeedback and  9 on neurofeedback  so ask your doctor to follow up and report back on what the definitive answer is.
Is it useful or not?

Abstract


This study aimed to investigate beta/theta ratio (BTR) neurofeedback training (NFT) effects in physical bal-ance of healthy individuals. Thirty-one healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to NFT group (n=15) and non-NFT control group (n=16). The NFT group completed 25 sessions in consecutive five days with five sessions per day. Before and after NFT, physical balance was measured by Wii Balance Board (WBB). The non-NFT control group only performed the physical balance test on the first day and the fifth day without any training. The results showed no significant improvement in physical balance in the NFT group compared to the non-NFT control group. The reason of the failure will be further studied in our future work.

    When you use a test that normal subjects can get the highest score on before treatment begins there is no way for them to show progress. Researchers should pay attention to whether the high end (ceiling) or low end (basement) of a test is a good match for the subjects they recruit before they judge the efficacy of a treatment
