Deans' stroke musings: Effects of Foot Stimulation In Balance of Hemiparetic Stroke Patients

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.

Effects of Foot Stimulation In Balance of Hemiparetic Stroke Patients

You'll have to ask your doctor and therapist to get the EXACT PROTOCOL on this because there is no publicly available database of effective therapies that survivors can look up when their doctor and therapists have no clue what to do to get you recovered. Except use the fuckingly lazy and stupid comment, 'All strokes are different and all stroke recoveries are different'. If that comes out you need to have them keelhauled.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of foot stimulation in the balance of stroke patients. For the study, 24 sessions were conducted with 56 patients with a diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, of both sexes, aged 44-85 years with a mean age of 67 years. The patients presented unilateral sequelae of stroke, medical release, signs of weakness and/or spasticity in affected hemi-body, being able to perform part or full motion involved in MI. Patients with decompensated blood pressure, associated neurological pathologies, and those who were not treatment compliant were excluded. The motor stimulation of the hemiparetic foot consisted of a deep manual massage sliding across the foot, leg slip with stimulation of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles after passive mobilization, and active-assisted exercises and contraction-relaxation. The intervention was evaluated with the Berg Balance Scale. Significant improvement in balance was shown in scores before and after (14 to 53). The foot stimulation was effective for improving balance in hemiparetic patients with sequelae of stroke, demonstrating an increase in the active motion and functional abilities of the upper and lower limbs affected.
