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.
we'll be happy to email a copy of this manuscript to anyone who asks!
ReplyDeleteThe AIM acronym and intervention name seeks to convey a few points. In discussing executive functioning (and dysfunctioning) we talk about need to monitor progress to ward a goal, referred to here as daily intentions. The paper investigates an assistive technology approach to this monitoring. Does that help? regards from @ozcboss
