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.

How Does a Gymnast, or Even a Fitness Walker, Keep from Falling?

When your stroke fucks up one of these systems, what is your doctor doing to recover that functionality and help you enough to prevent falling? ANYTHING AT ALL?
Mine used to be damned good, I could run across a boulder field with no problem, now I have to keep my head down and miss beautiful sights right in front of me. Damn this stroke.

    Dean,
    That is a good explanation of what is really going on in our brains. I wish I understood more about what part of my brain was damaged to better understand what has to get rewired,

    I also like this TED talk by Daniel Wolpert: "The real reason for brains" which talks about similar concepts and gives a good explanation of how the brain absorbs all types of sensory signals to keep track of your body's place in the world and directs desired movement. I think of it as a feed back loop

      I like the feedback loop you mentioned. What I hate is that our doctors have no clue as to exactly what has been damaged in our brains. Without that knowledge they are completely flying in the dark as to what might help us recover.
