Deans' stroke musings: Rhythm perception and production abilities and their relationship to gait after stroke

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.

Rhythm perception and production abilities and their relationship to gait after stroke

Research in rhythmic cuing has been out there since Jan. 2013 and you still haven't written a protocol? How much longer do we have to wait before we get some competence in stroke?

DOES NO ONE IN STROKE KEEP UP WITH RESEARCH?

Abstract: Study assessed rhythm abilities after stroke, described their relationship to clinical presentation, and determined whether rhythm production independently contributes to post-stroke temporal gait asymmetry (TGA). Thirty-nine individuals with subacute and chronic stroke were evaluated. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment (CMSA) leg and foot scales, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), rhythm perception and production (Beat Alignment Test [BAT]), and spatiotemporal gait parameters were assessed. TGA was quantified with the swing time symmetry ratio. Data related to age and rhythm perception (BAT) for 21 healthy adults were extracted from a preexisting database. Rhythm perception of the stroke group and healthy adults was compared with analysis of variance. Spearman correlations quantified the relation between rhythm perception and production abilities and clinical measures. Multiple linear regression assessed the contribution of rhythm production along with motor impairment and time poststroke to TGA. Rhythm perception in the stroke group was worse than healthy adults. Within the stroke group, rhythm perception was significantly correlated with CMSA leg and foot scores but not NIHSS or MoCA scores. The model for TGA was significant with CMSA leg scores, time since stroke, and asynchrony of rhythm production explaining 52 percent of the variance. Rhythm perception is impaired after stroke, and temporal gait asymmetry relates to impairments in producing rhythmic movement. These results may have implications for the use of auditory rhythmic stimuli to cue motor responses after stroke. Future work will explore brain responses to poststroke rhythm processing. (Shit this has already been researched.)
