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.

Table tennis is a helpful activity for people with Alzheimer's - Maybe stroke?

Would this be helpful for stroke survivors? A very simple question that our stroke associations should easily be able to answer. It would seem to be an excellent physical therapy intervention for balance and proprioception.

Table tennis is a helpful activity for people with Alzheimer's. See how it combines physical activity with brain exercise, spatial skills and staying social.

  1. Very, very early on, I played ping pong on my Wii a lot because I think this is what I had read, I called it ping-pong therapy.................

    I chose to do this myself, never did it in the hospital, although I did play Wii bowling, not ping-pong. No doctor or therapist ever mentioned ping-pong to me.
