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.

Motion Pattern Tracking for Home Based Stroke Rehabilitation Exercise Using MESA SR4500

Maybe we are finally getting to an objective analysis of the problems with gait. Some of my PTs had no clue, I got 'Walk this way', which had to be one of the worst.

Motion Pattern Tracking for Home Based Stroke Rehabilitation Exercise Using MESA SR4500

An automated physiotherapy exercise monitoring system requires good postural structure and pose information. Most of human movements for daily activity pivoted on lower limb that requires intensive care, especially for the stroke patient. However, there are a lot of uncertainties in human stance, movement and strength that need to be observed for good rehabilitation training. Hence, home-based rehabilitation monitoring system for lower limb therapy is crucial to encourage and facilitate the patient to perform the exercise effectively. This paper presents a novel real time rehabilitation system by tracking the lower limb information based on 3D information by using MESA SR4500, which produces Red, Green, Blue and Depth (RGBD) information. In this paper, only Depth and grayscale image have been utilized to track and evaluate the patient movement. A marker that located at the centroid of the moving body region has been estimated by using Kalman Filter, which acts as the main component. The pattern for a correctly performed exercise is different compared to the wrongly done exercise. The motion pattern has been evaluated to test the effectiveness of the exercise from the obtained graph. In conclusion, the results show that depth information is more important compared to grayscale information as it affects the tracking performance the most.
