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.

Challenging Standing Balance Reduces the Asymmetry of Motor Control of Postural Sway Poststroke

So fucking what! You described a problem, but offered NO SOLUTION.  My God, the massive fucking incompetence out there in the stroke world. You better hope you are not the 1 in 4 per the WHO that will have a stroke.

Background: Ankle plantarflexor muscle impairment contributes to asymmetrical postural control poststroke.  
Objective: This study examines the relationship of plantarflexor electromyography (EMG) with anterior–posterior center of pressure (APCOP) in people poststroke during progressive challenges to standing balance.
Methods: Ten people poststroke and 10 controls participated in this study. Anteriorly directed loads of 1% body mass (BM) were applied to the pelvis every 25–40 s until 5%BM was reached. Cross-correlation values between plantarflexor EMG and APCOP (EMG:APCOP) position and velocity were compared.
Results: EMG:APCOP velocity correlations were stronger than EMG:APCOP position across all muscles (p < .01), and correlations were predominately stronger in the nonparetic compared with the paretic leg (p < .05). Increasing challenge to standing balance reduced asymmetry of EMG:APCOP relationships.  
Conclusions: These data suggest that sensory information reflected in APCOP velocity interacts more strongly with plantarflexor activity in people poststroke and controls than APCOP position. Furthermore, increasing challenge to standing balance reduces postural control asymmetry between legs poststroke.
