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.

Clapping failure

I go to live performances of jazz at a bar. I can't properly clap my hands together. But I do have wonderful social connections and the balance therapy is incredibly effective.  The protocol: 3 drinks on a high bar stool and then walk to the restroom thru a crowd of people
Various failure points;
  1. Hand will not stay in the palm up position, due to spasticity.
  2. Fingers and thumb will not lay flat, due to spasticity.
  3. Hand will not sweep in mid-air to connect with the good hand, due to dead brain.
All of these failure points should be fixable by any therapist in the world, Just go to the public database of stroke rehab protocols and choose the one with the highest efficacy for the damage diagnosis. This is incredibly simple if we have anyone with brains in stroke leadership. A Nobel prize awaits the leader who follows thru and accomplishes what centuries of stroke persons have failed at.
Damn it all: stroke is easy; 5 steps.
1.  Describe the problems exactly.
2.  Write thousands of RFPs to researchers to solve those problems.
3.  Fund them with foundation grants.
4.  Write stroke rehab protocols based on the research.
5.  Get the Nobel prize in medicine  


A Nobel Prize awaits. Isn't that enough incentive? Or is this all just too fucking hard for all these MDs and PhDs working on stroke?

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 
Politeness will never solve anything in stroke.
