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.

Participation after stroke: the influence of depression in outpatient neurological rehabilitation

You goddamn fuckers; The main goal is 100% recovery NOT the lazy crapola you are pushing on survivors. Get the hell out of stroke if you are being worthless like this.  I would fire you all.

Depressiveness is a known and common problem after stroke, which puts a great burden on those affected. The main goal for stroke rehabilitation is to achieve the maximum possible self-determination and participation in the community. This research study examined how depressive symptoms influence the course of participation in outpatient neurological rehabilitation.Stroke rehabilitants from 17 German outpatient neurological rehabilitation centers were interviewed in a multicentric observational study. Within the current work, data on participation and depressive symptoms recorded at the beginning and at the end of rehabilitation by self-assessment questionnaires, were evaluated.Data of 342 rehabilitants were considered. Results of a multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that the depression value at the end of rehabilitation, in particular, proved to be a good predictor for the improvement in participation. The lower the depressiveness, the more likely an improvement in participation. At the beginning of the rehabilitation program there were no significant differences between mean depression scores of patients who improved and patients who deteriorated.A relationship between depressiveness and participation was shown. The treatment of depressive symptoms through timely administered psychotherapeutic and medicinal care and general activity promotion could influence the participation in a beneficial way.
