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 movement music therapy with a percussion instrument on physical and frontal lobe function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment: A randomized controlled trial

Your doctor being incompetent for years by ignoring the music and music therapy research out there will also ignore this one. Likely it needs to be spoon-fed to them. Are YOU willing to take on that task of training your doctor in helpful interventions post-stroke? Our fucking failures of stroke associations have no intention of creating a database of stroke protocols and research that our doctors could reference and get us 100% recovered.

Shimizu N, et al. - The effects of movement music therapy (MMT) with a percussion instrument on physical and frontal lobe function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were investigated in this randomized controlled trial. In these older adult participants with MCI, the MMT program seemed to stimulate the pre-frontal cortex (PFC) and improve cognitive performance, implying that the repetitive, rhythmic movements of MMT could activate the prefrontal area in older adults.

Methods

  • In this randomized, controlled, single-blind intervention trial, 45 older adult participants with MCI (74.62 ± 5.05 years) were enrolled.
  • The authors assigned 35 to the MMT group and 10 to the control STT group.
  • They administered 6 physical function tests, the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), and measured relative oxyhemoglobin concentrations using 45-multichannel functional near-infrared spectroscopy as a reflection of hemodynamic responses in the PFC before and after the 12-week exercise program.

Results

  • Significant improvements were observed in FAB scores only in the MMT group.
  • During the exercise, cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the PFC was significantly increased in the MMT group compared with the STT group.
  • In the MMT group, the CBF increase was significantly correlated among various channels.
