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.

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Stroke is the third leading cause of death in advanced countries, which leads to various neurological defects. Considering the importance of rehabilitation measures to reduce the complications of this disease, this study aimed to determine the effect of rehabilitation measures on quality of life in patients. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 30 patients with cerebral stroke admitted to the hospital. They were selected using easy sampling method and had inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a questionnaire on quality of life in the four areas (physical, mental, general health, social function) before and after the intervention. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics) were used for analyzing the data (paired t-test, Wilcoxon and independent t-test). Results: The results showed that the mean scores of quality of life in the areas of physical, psychological, social performance and general health after rehabilitation measures increased significantly (P = 0.05). Also, the overall score of quality of life after rehabilitation measures was significantly higher than before (P = 0.05). Conclusion: Rehabilitation measures have a positive effect on different aspects of quality of life. Establishing and strengthening rehabilitation, educational and support centers will enable these patients to benefit from these measures and is an important step in their independence.

Key words: Rehabilitation measures, quality of life, stroke. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Hayat N, Balooch M, Khan A, Aziz E.
