Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 27,790 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.

Twitches, Blinks, and Fidgets: Important Generators of Ongoing Neural Activity
How can these behaviors be used to help stroke recovery? Inquiring minds want to know. Whom do we go to to get that question answered?
Animals
and humans continuously engage in small, spontaneous motor actions,
such as blinking, whisking, and postural adjustments (“”).
These movements are accompanied by changes in neural activity in sensory
and motor regions of the brain. The frequency of these motions varies
in time, is affected by sensory stimuli, arousal levels, and pathology.
These fidgeting behaviors can be entrained by sensory stimuli. Fidgeting
behaviors will cause distributed, bilateral functional activation in
the 0.01 to 0.1 Hz frequency range that will show up in functional
magnetic resonance imaging and wide-field calcium neuroimaging studies,
and will contribute to the observed functional connectivity among brain
regions. However, despite the large potential of these behaviors to
drive brain-wide activity, these fidget-like behaviors are rarely
monitored. We argue that studies of spontaneous and evoked brain
dynamics in awake animals and humans should closely monitor these
fidgeting behaviors. Differences in these fidgeting behaviors due to
arousal or pathology will “contaminate” ongoing neural activity, and
lead to apparent differences in functional connectivity. Monitoring and
accounting for the brain-wide activations by these behaviors is
essential during experiments to differentiate fidget-driven activity
from internally driven neural dynamics.
