I've got 7 posts on Dr. John Krakauer already, he has some great ideas, virtual dolphins, calls stroke rehab medieval. You in the first days after your stroke will need to see what your doctor knows about this. Krakauer mentions lots of problems in stroke that your doctor should already know about and be addressing.

There are critical differences in the potential for rehabilitation of
impairment early and late after stroke. Early after stroke the
proportional recovery rule for spontaneous biological recovery applies,
as does the idea of a sensitive period. Late after stroke,
rehabilitation relies on motor learning principles. We will need new
behavioral treatments augmented by pharmacology and perhaps non-invasive
brain stimulation to rectify the overall ineffectiveness of current
neurorehabilitation
Go to the mp4 file, it contains a 1 hour lecture which is wonderful.
Some tidbits from there:
'No computational or algorithmic theory of practice'. So we know nothing about stroke rehab.
' I have no idea why we do robotics for rehabilitation'.
'Current rehab seems to have no impact whatsoever'.
'Sensitive period can be reset with second stroke' slide.
Fluoxetine slide is good, does your doctor know about that?
85% of time is spent in bed not moving.
