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.

Unstable Footwear Affects Magnitude and Structure of Variability in Postural Control

Your doctor probably has ignored these 6 posts on unstable shoes back to May 2012.  So any falls since then are on your doctors' shoulders.

This study evaluated the amount, and particularly, the structure of variability in postural control accompanying an unstable shoe (US) application. Mediolateral and anterior–posterior center of pressure signals plus electromyographic profiles of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medialis were recorded in 29 asymptomatic men while wearing both US and flat shoes. Statistical analysis included common measures of dispersion as well as sample entropy and largest Lyapunov exponent estimates. Data were compared by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. Corresponding main effects of footwear revealed that, in contrast to the flat shoes condition, the US intervention consistently increased center of pressure and electromyographic net fluctuations and rendered the overall system less complex, as reflected by the lower sample entropy and higher Lyapunov exponent values observed throughout. Accordingly, employing US in stance should be functional concerning motor development; however, the greater sensitivity of US users to external perturbations must not be overlooked and warrants further investigation.
