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.

Breaking Up Sitting Time After Stroke Study - Australia

Join if you can. With the 85% inactivity that stroke patients have there should also be a study on:

  1. action observation, 

  2. mirror therapy,

  3. thermal therapy, 

  4. lucid dreaming 

  5. Music therapy

  6. Sensation overload 

to determine the efficacy of these interventions. We need protocols not just, 'Hey this seems to work sometimes, but we know nothing about dosing. You'll just have to guess.'  And then your medical staff can blame you for not recovering because you didn't do the therapy right or long enough

Breaking Up Sitting Time After Stroke Study - Australia


BUST-BP-Dose Study

Researchers at the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) are looking at the effects of reducing long periods of sitting, with regular activity breaks, to improve blood pressure in those who have had a stroke.
The BUST-BP-Dose study will monitor blood pressure and blood sugar levels in people who have had a stroke between 3 months and 10 years ago. The study will look at the amount of short activity breaks needed to improve blood pressure in stroke survivors and reduce their risk of having another stroke.
The study is being supported by a Heart Foundation Vanguard Grant, Hunter Medical Research Institute research support grant and Priority Research Centre for Stroke and Brain Injury research support grant.
