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.

Wearable Robotic Limb Helps Patients With Gait Rehab

But is this any better that these 80 posts on exoskeletons? Bet your doctor doesn't know about more than one and your hospital has none in their therapy department.

AsianScientist (Nov. 7, 2016) - Researchers in China and Denmark have designed a lower-limb wearable robot exoskeleton that features natural knee movement, greatly improving patient comfort and their willingness to wear it for gait rehab. Their design was published in Review of Scientific Instruments. Stroke and spinal cord injury patients often require gait rehabilitation to regain the ability to walk or to help strengthen their muscles. Wearable robot-assisted training is quickly emerging as a method that helps improve this rehab process, but exoskeleton robots aren’t new—they’ve been studied extensively and many designs have focused on lower limbs. Here, researchers from Beihang University and Aalborg University have developed a robotic exoskeleton that is intended to help stroke patients strengthen their physical fitness, aid the rehabilitation training of paralyzed patients, or to assist those who need help performing daily activities. The knee joint’s motion is actuated by several skeletal muscles along its articular surfaces, and its center of rotation moves. It is the first known use of a parallel mechanism at the knee joint to imitate skeletal muscles. A prototype of the lower-limb exoskeleton being developed at Beihang University in Beijing, China.
