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.

A Mendelian Randomization Approach for Assessing the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Depression

So instead of having to address poststroke depression(33% chance), your doctor could get you recovered enough to do the exercise necessary to prevent depression. But I bet your doctors will not address it that way since they have NO CLUE on what therapies actually work. They write prescriptions to the therapists saying E.T.(Evaluate and Treat). That means they know nothing about stroke rehab and are hoping their therapists do. Which is probably why only 10% of patients get to full recovery.

A Mendelian Randomization Approach for Assessing the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Depression

JAMA Psychiatry. Published online January 23, 2019. doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2018.3870
There is a large and growing need to better manage the burden of major depression. Antidepressants are not universally effective, and many patients undergo a trial-and-error process to find the right regimen. Psychological therapies are about equally effective and can be expensive and difficult to access. Reducing the number of individuals who develop depression would be ideal, but identifying robust protective factors that are modifiable has proven challenging. Physical exercise has emerged as a key opportunity. In large cross-sectional studies,1 individuals who exercise report significantly better mental health. In large prospective cohort studies,2 individuals who exercise are less likely to develop depression. In randomized clinical trials,3 people who were assigned to exercise groups had greater depressive symptom reduction than those who were not. Individuals with depression who are taking antidepressants and exercise more are significantly more likely to recover than those who exercise less.4 Case closed, perhaps?
