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.

Post-Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation Clients Whose Rehabilitation Goals Were Not Met

Well shit, 90% of clients do not meet their full recovery goals. This analysis is totally wrong.  I'm sure leading questions were used. ie. 'Do you want to be able to walk out of the hospital?' when the question should have been open ended, 'What walking/running that you were doing before do you want to get back to?'  Whomever was leading this project failed miserably.

    Here is the freaky part of using low FIM scores at admission to make decisions about who gets less therapy. The data reported were group averages. This means some low functioning individuals made good progress while others did not. There is currently no way to look at a client
    to predict where he or she will end up on the bell-shaped curve that produced the group average. As an OT I did not judge clients by where they began but how quickly they improved.
