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.

Nursing at the centre of stroke recovery in the acute setting: prioritising early rehabilitation

Your doctor should be asking for the stroke rehabilitation prescription chart to see what their chart looks like to this one. If they don't do this they have their heads up their asses not wanting to know the best way to do things.

Early stroke rehabilitation is fundamental and should begin in the acute setting. Patient outcome is enhanced through effective multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary teamwork. Rehabilitation activities can be prescribed by members of the multidisciplinary team and coordinated by nursing staff. Nurses play an essential role, as they are available 24 hours per day and are well placed to oversee rehabilitation activities. These activities are carried out by the patient with the support of his or her family and the multidisciplinary team. Activities should increase in intensity as the patient improves. Education about the benefits of early rehabilitation and their role should be provided for health professionals, health care assistants, patients and their families. This article stresses the importance of prioritising stroke rehabilitation in the acute setting and emphasises the nurse's role. A stroke rehabilitation prescription chart is discussed.
