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.

Assessment of the effects of factors in stroke rehabilitation using eight multiple regression analyses―An analysis of the Japan Rehabilitation Database

Well shit, they've just proven a logical conclusion. Those with less damage have a better chance of recovering. Does no one at all have any sense in the stroke medical world? It took 8 pages to state something that one sentence would have sufficed.

ABSTRACT
Tokunaga M, Taniguchi M, Nakakado K, Mihono T, Okido A, Ushijima T, Eguchi G, Watanabe S, Nakanishi R, Yamanaga H. Assessment of the effects of factors in stroke rehabilitation using eight multiple regression analyses―An analysis of the Japan Rehabilitation Database―. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2015; 6: 78-85.
Objective:
The objective of the present study was to determine via multiple regression analysis what types
of patient groups demonstrate large effects for factors in stroke rehabilitation.
Methods:
The subjects were 1,465 stroke patients in Kaifukuki ehabilitation wards who were registered
in the 2014 Japan Rehabilitation Database. The subjects were stratified into eight groups based on age, motor functional independence measure (FIM) score at hospital admission, and cognitive FIM score at admission; multiple regression analysis was then performed with motor FIM score at discharge as the dependent variable.
Results:
Among the eight groups, the following independent variables were significant: motor FIM
score at admission in seven groups, Nichijo-seikatsu-kino-hyokahyo at admission in five groups, age and post-onset duration of hospitalization in four groups, cognitive FIM score at admission in three groups, and pre-onset modified Rankin Scale in one group.
Conclusion:
The creation of multiple predictive formulas in multiple regression analysis enables
identification of the types of patient groups which demonstrate large effects for factors in stroke
rehabilitation.
