Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 28,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Motor Impairment–Related Alterations in Biceps and Triceps Brachii Fascicle Lengths in Chronic Hemiparetic Stroke
This is measurement after the problem has occurred. Fucking useless. Survivors want solutions that prevent this problem. GET THERE!
Poststroke
deficits in upper extremity function occur during activities of daily
living due to motor impairments of the paretic arm, including weakness
and abnormal synergies, both of which result in altered use of the
paretic arm. Over time, chronic disuse and a resultant flexed elbow
posture may result in secondary changes in the musculoskeletal system
that may limit use of the arm and impact functional mobility. This study
utilized extended field-of-view ultrasound to measure fascicle lengths
of the biceps (long head) and triceps (distal portion of the lateral
head) brachii in order to investigate secondary alterations in muscles
of the paretic elbow. Data were collected from both arms in 11
individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke, with moderate to severe
impairment as classified by the Fugl-Meyer assessment score. Across all
participants, significantly shorter fascicles were observed in both
biceps and triceps brachii (P < .0005) in the paretic limb
under passive conditions. The shortening in paretic fascicle length
relative to the nonparetic arm measured under passive conditions
remained observable during active muscle contraction for the biceps but
not for the triceps brachii. Finally, average fascicle length
differences between arms were significantly correlated to impairment
level, with more severely impaired participants showing greater
shortening of paretic biceps fascicle length relative to changes seen in
the triceps across all elbow positions (r = −0.82, P =
.002). Characterization of this secondary adaptation is necessary to
facilitate development of interventions designed to reduce or prevent
the shortening from occurring in the acute stages of recovery
poststroke.
