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.

Watching what I can't do

On one of my walks this afternoon at work to get to 10,000 steps a young guy ahead of me stops by a tree and and jumps up to grab the tree branch above his head and starts doing pullups.
Failure points for me;
1. I can't jump at all, not even an inch off the ground.
2. I can't reach my left arm above my shoulder.
3. I can't open my left hand to grab anything, when holding my left arm above my head to try to grab a bar to do a dead mans hang, can never get the fingers to open at the same time.
4. No ability to move the body off the dead mans hang at all.
But I did find a tree with a branch at shoulder height so I now can do this again:
