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.

Here’s The Psychological Key to Improving Your Physical Health

Is your doctor making sure you objectively monitor your progress to your goals? How is your doctor helping you stay motivated? Or is your doctor the one who says? 'You won't get better, you've plateaued.'  What is your doctors plan to get 100% recovered?

Dr Benjamin Harkin, who led the research, said:
“Monitoring goal progress is a crucial process that comes into play between setting and attaining a goal, ensuring that the goals are translated into action.”
The more people monitored their progress, the greater their chances of achieving their goal.
One key the researchers uncovered was that it is vital to focus mainly on the end result you are looking for.
For example, if you are trying to lose weight, it’s best to monitor and record just your weight.
Some people trying to lose weight who just monitored their diet only succeeded in changing their diet, not in losing weight.
Dr Harkin said:
“The implication of this finding is if you want to change your diet, then monitor what you are eating, but if you want to lose weight, then focus on monitoring your weight.”
Dr Harkin continued:
“Our findings are of relevance to those interested in changing their behavior and achieving their goals, as well as to those who want to help them, like weight loss programs, money advice agencies or sport coaches.
Prompting people to monitor their progress can help them to achieve their goals, but some methods of monitoring are better than others.
Specifically, we would recommend that people be encouraged to record, report or make public what they find out as they assess their progress.”
The study was published in the journal Psychological Bulletin (Harkin et al., 2015).
