Deans' stroke musings: Check Your Health: Neuro specialty rehab for strokes

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.

Check Your Health: Neuro specialty rehab for strokes

Because your neurologist has done nothing to solve the neuronal cascade of death by these 5 causes in the first week. Stroke rehab is going to continue to be incredibly difficult.

(KUTV) For Michael Slisz, a blackjack dealer from Mesquite, Nevada, a visit to the emergency room revealed his blood pressure was out of control.

“It was 270 over 250,” said Michael.
Shortly after, the elevated blood pressure resulted in him suffering a severe stroke and affecting his ability to function.
“When he first came to us he was very difficult to understand,” says Dr. Rusty Moore, medical director of Neuro Specialty Rehab at Dixie Regional Medical Center. “He had difficulty with using the left side of his body and recognizing the left side of the world.”
For patients like Michael, neuro specialty rehab works to address and overcome some of those deficits that are making it hard to function.
“Our team, we work on very small things that progress toward the big functions in live,” says Dr. Moore, “Sometimes being able to shift your weight or to know that your body is out of alignment.”
Following the stroke, Michael wasn’t able to move from one surface to another. He couldn’t go from lying down in bed to sitting up. However, in just three weeks, hard work and dedication has allowed him to progress beyond that.
“I can get up out of bed and do things the right way,” says Michael.
“Going from sitting to standing. He’s working on small steps walking. He’s able to roll from one place to another,” explains Dr. Moore.
Although he may no longer be able to shuffle and deal cards, Michael hopes to return to work as a supervisor.
“We’re seeing some great return, and he’s getting to where he can do a lot of things for himself,” says Dr. Moore.
Everyone is different when it comes to recovering from a stroke(What a fucking way to blame the patient for lack of recovery). However, most people will make improvements for at least a year, possibly longer, after suffering a stroke.
