Deans' stroke musings: Insole plantar pressure systems in the gait analysis of post-stroke rehabilitation

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.

Insole plantar pressure systems in the gait analysis of post-stroke rehabilitation

I wonder if these earlier insole and sock versions are better? What does your doctor think?

This article presents a review of the application of insole plantar pressure sensor system in recognition and analysis of the hemiplegic gait in stroke patients. Based on the review, tailor made 3D insoles for plantar pressure measurement were designed and fabricated. The function is to compare with that of conventional flat insoles. Tailor made 3D contour of the insole can improve the contact between insole and foot and enable sampling plantar pressure at a high reproducibility.
