This in a nutshell is how fucking bad stroke rehab is. We still have no protocol on when stroke rehab should start with appropriate objective damage diagnosis starting points. You're screwed along with your children and grandchildren when they have strokes. We need stroke leadership and we need it now.
Stroke rehab: How early to start?
Stroke treatment and rehabilitation have changed radically over the least decade or so, with clot-busting and active rehabilitation.But how early should that rehabilitation start?
An Australian study four years ago found no benefit from intervention in the first 24 hours — and some harm.
But there are questions about that finding — and whether how that early rehabilitation is delivered could make all the difference.
