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.

Re-imagining Stroke Environments with Virtual Reality (RiSE-VR) – research - Australian request for research guinea pigs

Re-imagining Stroke Environments with Virtual Reality (RiSE-VR) – research

Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, 30 Royal Parade, Parkfille, VIC, 3052

This project is examining how responses and behaviours of stroke survivors can be influenced by hospital ward physical environment. There is limited scientific knowledge informing the design of hospital environments for people who have had a stroke. You are eligible for this study if you have had a stroke and are discharged from hospital at least 1 month.
Researchers from The Florey Institute and Swinburne University are exploring the responses of stroke survivors to a novel patient room design immersive virtual reality experience (VR).
Participation involves completing 2 VR sessions lasting 60 minutes each, and answering some questionnaires. This will be followed by a single interview with you to gather further details from you about the VR experience.
Researchers will measure your responses using preference and emotional ratings while using the VR experience. Your physical responses will also be tracked using a pulse and blood pressure probe, and a wearable motion sensor. This study will run for 2 years at The Florey Institute, Melbourne.
