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.

Performance Assessment of the Optimum Feature Extraction for Upper-limb Stroke Rehabilitation using Angular Separation Method

Will you stop doing assessments and do work that results in effective stroke rehab?  These wastes of time are all because we have NO stroke strategy and NO stroke leadership.

Abstract—Most of the human everyday activities will require the use of their upper-limb muscles. The pattern of upper-limb muscle movement can be used to estimate upper-limb motions. Fundamental arm movement which is part of upper-limb muscle rehabilitation activity has been studied in order to investigate the time domain features, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain from the surface electromyogram (sEMG) signal of the upper-limb muscle. The relationship of electromyogram (EMG) signal and the rehabilitation exercise of related upper limb muscles movements are analyzed in this study. Then the features from the three domains were compared using Angular Separation Method to determine optimal feature. The result shows that MinWT has the best value of similarity which is 0.98, followed by a MeanWT feature which resulted in 0.91 of similarity. These results of EMG signal feature extraction can be used later in the study of human upper-limb muscle especially for analyzing EMG signal from patient undergone a rehabilitation treatment.

    Too bad it takes so much time to find the best place to get the best electrical signal. Half a treatment session would be over before the EMG signals were calibrated.
