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.

Mirror-box training in healthy subjects and a patient with hemiparesis

You'll have to send your doctor after the EXACT PROTOCOL used. Since our 

fucking failures of stroke associations  do not keep track of all stroke research and the protocols used in research you are completely on your own. 500,000+ US stroke survivors a year all looking for the same protocols on how to recover 100%. What a completely idiotic thing to do since we have NO stroke leadership.

Objective

Mirror therapy (MT) is an approach of neurorehabilitation improving motor functions after stroke. MT represents a mental process by which an individual rehearses a given motor action by reflecting movements of the non-paretic side in a mirror as if it were the affected side. Although a number of small-scale research studies have shown encouraging results, there is no clear consensus about the effectiveness of the therapy. The aim of this study is to investigate objective changes in EEG after MT.

Methods

A set of seven healthy volunteers carried-out five mirror-box training sessions. The same training is carried-out twice a week with a patient with hemiparesis for more than six months. The eleven channels of EEG placed over the sensorimotor and left occipital cortex are recorded. In addition to the standard power spectral analysis of EEG we decompose EEG into elemental components or “atoms.” We estimate EEG atoms using multiway parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) for modeling.

Results

Compering resting EEG prior and after training we found statistically significant increase of the motor-related oscillatory μ-rhythm in a hemiparetic patient. Atomic decomposition of EEG shows stable spatio-frequency components of motor-related synchronization and desynchronization of EEG in a hemisphere contralateral to the mirror-box.
