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.

Extra sensation for stroke motor recovery

Two parts: I just started doing this, no clue about efficacy but then nothing is known about efficacy for any stroke rehab. That point is just one of the proofs about the complete fucking failure of everything in stroke.

1.) From the Margaret Yekutiel book about this from 2001, 'Sensory Re-Education of the Hand After Stroke'. In the 17 intervening years I have not been able to find ANY PROTOCOL on this. I have no clue what exactly to do and if my 12 years post stroke means this won't work at all. But since I'm now retired I have a bit of extra time I can use this brush in the shower to try to get my hand working. I use both sides all along the arm and hand

 

2.) Thermal therapy speeds limb recovery after stroke

November 2005

In the article you can actually find a protocol for this. I'm totally guessing on the temperatures I use. I'm setting two buckets next to my chair and since my arm movement is so poor I have to use my good hand to move from one to another. I'd be willing to bet your doctors and stroke hospital aren't doing anything like this for their stroke patients


Researchers found that cycles of heat and cold significantly enhanced the

sensory and motor function in the arms and hands of stroke survivors after a few weeks of therapy.
