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.

BARTHEL INDEX SCORE IN STROKE PATIENTS INCREASES AFTER UNDERGOING MEDICAL REHABILITATION

Every stroke patient should get to 100 in the scoring, anything less is a complete failure that should be analyzed and corrected.

Abstract


Stroke is the leading cause of death among Indonesian people over the age of five years, comprising 15.4% of all deaths, with a mortality rate of 99/100 000, and the number of disability is 685/100 000. Medical rehabilitation has an effect in improving functional status of patients with stroke, especially if it is done intensively in the first 6 months after stroke attack. Measurement of functional status is commonly used in clinic, including in Dr. Soetomo Hospital. However, no study had been conducted in measuring functional status using Barthel Index in Surabaya. Therefore, this study identified the difference of the functional status of stroke patients before and after undergoing medical rehabilitation. The study used an experimental method with pre and post design with total sampling. The samples were 47 stroke patients in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Data were obtained from March - April 2014 using Barthel Index. Data analysis used Wilcoxon Sign Rank test, including the distribution of each variable, which showed signification value of <0.05. This study concluded that Barthel Index score increases after undergoing medical rehabilitation.
