Deans' stroke musings: Spasticity Awareness Week from the National Stroke Association

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.

Spasticity Awareness Week is June 17 – 24, 2018. Please join us in raising awareness about this condition that affects over 12 million people worldwide.

The National Stroke Association has partnered with a growing number of leading organizations to form the Spasticity Alliance. To commemorate Spasticity Awareness Week in 2018, the Spasticity Alliance has launched a Spanish version of its website. Both English and Spanish websites contain resources for individuals living with spasticity, family members, and caregivers who want to learn more about spasticity. The English website can be found at spasticityalliance.org; the Spanish website can be found at spanish.spasticityalliance.org.

The resources below contain information about the symptoms of spasticity, management techniques and treatments that help to ease the symptoms of spasticity. While there is no cure for this condition, there are many tactics that can help individuals living with spasticity resume their normal daily activities.
