Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Developing a wearable ankle rehabilitation robotic device for in-bed acute stroke rehabilitation
I needed my body weight to counteract the spasticity of my ankle and get it flat on the floor. This can follow this:
Ankle
movement training is important in motor recovery post stroke and early
intervention is critical to stroke rehabilitation. However, acute stroke
survivors receive motor rehabilitation in only a small fraction of
time, partly due to the lack of effective devices and protocols suitable
for early in-bed rehabilitation. Considering the first few months post
stroke is critical in stroke recovery, there is a strong need to start
motor rehabilitation early, mobilize the ankle, and conduct movement
therapy. This study seeks to address the need and deliver intensive
passive and active movement training in acute stroke using a wearable
ankle robotic device. Isometric torque generation mode under real-time
feedback is used to guide patients in motor relearning. In the passive
stretching mode, the wearable robotic device stretches the ankle
throughout its range of motion to the extreme dorsiflexion forcefully
and safely. In the active movement training mode, a patient is guided
and motivated to actively participate in movement training through game
playing. Clinical testing of the wearable robotic device on 10 acute
stroke survivors over 12 sessions of feedback-facilitated isometric
torque generation, and passive and active movement training indicated
that the early in-bed rehabilitation could have facilitated
neuroplasticity and helped improve motor control ability.
