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.

Failure at hand resting on leg

When I drive one of the positions I try to do is rest my open palm on my left leg.

Multiple failure points:

  1. Bicep spasticity puls arm off of leg.

  1. 4 finger spasticity requires all my strength in my good hand to straighten. Dangerous while driving.

  1. Thumb spasticity is not possible to control at the same time as straightening the fingers.

  1. Wrist spasticity curls the wrist off the leg almost immediately.

In summer this sometimes works.

I expect that every stroke doctor and therapist in the world should have a protocol, not a guideline, to correct these problems. There are hundreds of thousands of stroke survivors every year needing these solutions and I bet your doctor has not done ONE DAMN THING to address any of those problems.  I don't care how hard it is to solve, at least try something.
