Deans' stroke musings: Feasibility and efficacy of a multidimensional strategy to promote physical activity in acute stroke patients

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.

Feasibility and efficacy of a multidimensional strategy to promote physical activity in acute stroke patients

Useless as written, NO protocols mentioned or provided, using the word alone doesn't count for shit.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to describe the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a multidimensional approach to promote physical activity soon after ischemic stroke. This was a case-control study comparing the outcomes in consecutive patients admitted to a stroke unit before and after implementing a physical activity promotion protocol. The protocol consisted of aerobic exercise using a cycle ergometer and informing the patients of the benefits of physical activity. The primary outcome measurement was physical activity at 3 months using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. A total of 93 patients were included, 60 controls and 33 in the experimental group. Pre-stroke activity was low. A total of 126 cycle ergometer sessions were well tolerated. At 3 months, post-stroke physical activity was greater and sedentary time shorter in the experimental group. These results suggest that a multidisciplinary approach combining early exercise and individualized information on the benefits of exercise may increase physical activity after stroke.
