Deans' stroke musings: Using Social Interaction in Rehabilitation to Improve Stroke Patients Motivation

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.

Using Social Interaction in Rehabilitation to Improve Stroke Patients Motivation

The real title should be 'How to distract from your complete lack of stroke recovery by suggesting that you didn't recover because you weren't motivated enough'. I instead blame your stroke medical professionals for not having the motivation to assume responsibility for getting all survivors 100% recovered. Put the blame where it belongs. Your stroke staff.

Abstract:	Rehabilitation for stroke is important for recovery, but living independently after stroke is not easy. Difficulty accepting their new condition, facing the changes of roles and self-concept are mentioned as psychological challenges that lead to low social interaction affecting relations around them. Additionally, low levels of emotional support may cause depression and decrease motivation, which has been proven that sufficient social support can influence the training outcome with better performance, resulting in a faster recovery. Therefore, our aim of this study is (1) to explore the concept of sharing in rehabilitation to improve patients’ motivation through (2) developing a user-friendly tangible device to train their upper limbs fine motor (ULFM) skills. To investigate the impact of this research direction, this study will focus on both the development of the rehabilitation training device, and collection and comparison of data of their interactions and motivation levels.

As you know, some stroke survivors contribute to this delusion too - "I recovered 100% through my hard work, along with the grace of God." Translated: "Those who have not recovered are lazy heathens."
