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.

What stroke rehab protocols do you need?

You should have one for every deficit you have, taken from a publicly available database with efficacy percentages. If your doctor hands you off to the therapists with a prescription of ET(Evaluate and Treat) that means you are getting nothing with a proven background. Your doctor has just proven they know absolutely nothing about stroke recovery,. Why the fuck are you even paying them? But none of this exists because your stroke medical professionals still believe in the fuckingly stupid statement of: 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Besides that our fucking failures of stroke associations haven't even attempted to create a database of stroke protocols.  They are still stuck in the conscience laundering phase of prevention and F.A.S.T.
The solution?
Have the boards of directors hire a president that will create a great stroke association.
Your children and grandchildren need this if they expect to recover much better than you have.
PAY IT FORWARD!

This is as good a reason as any why stroke never seems to get anywhere. No one is even tackling all the problems in stroke.

    I totally agree with this. For the first year post stroke I spent tons of time researching stroke and was very frustrated that there are so many promising devices, methods, studies etc. but no place are they organized into database, decision tree, or any way to decide what & how much is appropriate. So useless to a patient or caregiver. I have talked to several therapists and I like to ask them how they know what to do next at the various stages of recovery, or what they have to refer too as a guide. No response, except experience. Very hit & miss.
