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.

The restoration of the shoulder joint function in the patients presenting with hemiparesis during the acute phase of hemispheric stroke

Nothing in here even suggests they got an objective damage diagnosis. Thus this research is totally not repeatable and useless. If you don't even know the starting point you can't measure an ending point.

Abstract

The impaired function of the shoulder joint resulting from cerebral stroke is a common disorder involving permanent total disability as well as impaired capability of self-care. The functional pathological changes in the shoulder joint and the dynamics of the patients' health status during the acute period of cerebral stroke remain virtually unexplored.The objective of the present study was to obtain a deeper insight into the process of recovery of the movements in the shoulder joint of the patients presenting with hemiparesis during the acute period of hemispheric stroke based on the results of the analysis of the biomechanical data and the targeted training with biofeedback (BFB).The study included three groups comprised of 25 subjects each. One (control) group included the subjects having neither neurological nor orthopedic pathology. The second group consisted of the patients receiving the conventional treatment in the combination with therapeutic physical exercises (TPE). Group 3 was composed of the patients given the standard course of conventional and physical (TPE) therapy complemented by biofeedback training (the TPE/BFB group). The study included clinical investigations and biomechanical registration of the movements of the shoulder joints and trunk.The results of the study gave evidence that the patients presenting with hemiparesis during the acute period of hemispheric ischemic stroke including those treated with the application of the active means and methods of rehabilitation, such as BFB training, showed no appreciable dynamics of the parameters being evaluated with the use of the relevant clinical scales. The biomechanical study has demonstrated that the movements in the shoulder joints (in a single plain) of the patients comprising the control group are characterized by the presence of the main component with a maximum amplitude in the plane of this movement and additional components (in other planes with a significantly lower amplitude); they are accompanied by the ancillary movements of the trunk. Functionally, the condition of paresis at the level of the shoulder joint is characterized by a decrease in the amplitude of the primary movement and the increase of one of the additional amplitudes, with the growing amplitude of the auxiliary movements of the trunk. The biomechanical methods for the objective assessment have revealed the following functional changes in the shoulder joints: the 6% improvement of flexion in the group of the patients treated with the use of therapeutic physical exercises and the 10% improvement in those treated with the combination of TPE and BFB. Moreover, abduction in the patients of these two groups improved by 4% and 9% respectively.The method for the study of kinematics of the movements in the shoulder joints appears to be most sensitive and informative for the purpose of diagnostics of disorders of the motor function and assessment of the process of its restoration in the patients presenting with hemiparesis during the acute period of hemispheric stroke.
