Deans' stroke musings: 3D Lower Limb Orthotic Therapy for Hemiplegic Stroke Patients Using an Adjustable Plastic Knee Ankle Foot Orthotic Device

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.

3D Lower Limb Orthotic Therapy for Hemiplegic Stroke Patients Using an Adjustable Plastic Knee Ankle Foot Orthotic Device

With these great results you still have lots to do to complete your job.

Write it up as a stroke protocol and distribute it to every stroke doctor and therapist in the world. OR, distribute the protocol to every one of the 10 million yearly stroke survivors now and into the future forever. Your job is not done just by writing this paper. Or get a great stroke association up and running and have them do the distribution.

Abstract: This paper reports two cases of 3D lower limb orthotic therapy for patients with post-stroke hemiplegia using an adjustable plastic knee ankle foot orthotic device, with a view to enhancing the recognition of this method as one of the orthotic therapy approaches. The hemiplegic stroke patients, one during the early stage of the recovery phase and the other during the maintenance phase, were assessed and treated with an adjustable plastic knee ankle foot orthotic device available at hospitals and a raising tool. The time needed for the patient during the early stage of the recovery phase to walk 10 m decreased from 40 to 7 seconds. He became able to walk outdoors independently within 16 weeks. The time needed for the other patient during the maintenance phase to walk 10 m remained unchanged, but the knee extension angle during the stance phase improved from −25 to 0° in 10 weeks. These results indicate that 3D lower limb orthotic therapy using an adjustable plastic knee ankle foot orthosis may provide a basis for selecting more appropriate orthotic devices.
