Deans' stroke musings: What predicts falls in Parkinson disease? Observations from the Parkinson's Foundation registry

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.

What predicts falls in Parkinson disease? Observations from the Parkinson's Foundation registry

Where the fuck is the same research for stroke and the protocols that prevent falling?
Does your doctor even know about these?
24 fall prevention posts back to May, 2013
1 post on fall protection
1 post on fall risk detection
23 posts on fall risk

What is your doctors fall prevention protocol? DO YOU HAVE ANY? Or are you practicing perfection rather than error based learning?

What predicts falls in Parkinson disease? Observations from the Parkinson's Foundation registry

Neurology® Clinical Practice — Parashos SA, et al. | May 25, 2018

Researchers analyzed data in the National Parkinson Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative database to identify patients with Parkinson disease (PD) with no or rare falls who may progress to frequent falling by their next annual follow-up visit. Using logistic regression, multivariable models were constructed. They identified several predictors of progression to falling in PD. Results of this study suggested that such identifiers might help target patient subgroups for falls prevention intervention. They reported that some factors were modifiable, offering opportunities for developing such interventions.
