Deans' stroke musings: Clinical and motor functional of hospitalized elderly after Stroke

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.

Clinical and motor functional of hospitalized elderly after Stroke

The measurements showed a complete failure of getting these patients anywhere near to 100% recovery. This should have resulted in a crash course in figuring out why and what changes are needed to get there. Every single godammed hospital that does not get their patients 100% recovered should have a program to analyze why and how to fix it. If not, the president and the board of directors are incompetent and should be fired.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize a sample of elderly after acute stroke admitted to the stroke unit of a university hospital regarding clinical, functional, and motor variables, and to check possible motor gains during the period of hospitalization. An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted with data collection from the physical therapy unit’s standardized assessment files. Data including sex and age were collected, in addition to clinical and functional and motor variables. In order to characterize the sample, descriptive statistics were performed. Of a total of 349 elderly post stroke patients that went through the unit from May 2012 to August 2013, 52 % were men, with an average age of 73±8.1 years, and 85 % suffered ischemic stroke. The average number of physiotherapy sessions received by patients was 8 sessions. There were gains in the percentage values of the variables: trunk control without support, good static balance, and ambulation without support for the final physical therapy evaluation compared to baseline (increases by 13%, 12 % and 13 %, respectively). Study results indicate that the clinical and motor-functional identification of elderly individuals in a stroke unit can enable the planning and implementation of effective rehabilitation strategies at admission and after discharge.
