Deans' stroke musings: NeuroRecovery Training Institute Announces Stroke Specialty Certification

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.

NeuroRecovery Training Institute Announces Stroke Specialty Certification

Before your therapist goes to this, these questions should be asked of the instructors. 'What percentage of your patients get to 100% recovery?' 'What guarantees of recovery will be able to be provided to survivors from use of this course?'
This ought to be really interesting since the only evidence based therapy is CIMT. Hell, therapists don't even have a common protocol to get patients walking.

The NeuroRecovery Training Institute (NeuroRTI) is proud to announce they will be offering a Stroke Specialty Certification beginning March 2016.

This 11-15 month program of post-professional clinical and didactic education is designed to translate evidence into practice, providing both physical and occupational therapists with the tools to deliver best practice management to the post-stroke population. The evidence-based curriculum will guide participants through the full spectrum of stroke rehabilitation, from neuroanatomy and pathology to examination and treatment, with the ultimate goal of facilitating recovery of function and improved reported quality of life. This program will be led by Jill Seale, PT, PhD, NCS, and Rachelle Studer-Byrnes, PT, DPT, NCS.

“We are thrilled to be launching the Stroke Specialty Certification and are eager to introduce the course material to students come March,” said Seale.

“We look forward to empowering students who are passionate about working with stroke survivors and providing them with the tools to promote recovery post-stroke and improve their patients’ outcomes and quality of life,” added Studer-Byrnes.

Cohorts will launch in March, July, and September of 2016. For admission requirements, curricula details, and total hours and credits, please visit http://www.neurorti.com.
