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.

Assessment and Rehabilitation Using Virtual Reality after Stroke: A Literature Review

A double fucking useless piece of shit. A review of assessments. How far away can you get from actual stroke rehab protocols? Maybe a review of guidelines of assessments. If someone finds one, send it to me

Abstract

This chapter presents the studies that have used virtual reality as an assessment or rehabilitation tool of cognitive functions following a stroke. To be part of this review, publications must have made a collection of data from individuals who have suffered a stroke and must have been published between 1980 and 2017. A total of 50 publications were selected out of a possible 143 that were identified in the following databases: Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsychINFO, Psychological and Behavioural Sciences Collection. Overall, we find that most of the studies that have used virtual reality with stroke patients focused on attention, spatial neglect, and executive functions/multitasking. Some studies have focused on route representation, episodic memory, and prospective memory. Virtual reality has been used for training of cognitive functions with stroke patients, but also for their assessment. Overall, the studies support the value and relevance of virtual reality as an assessment and rehabilitation tool with people who have suffered a stroke. Virtual reality seems indeed an interesting way to better describe the functioning of the person in everyday life. Virtual reality also sometimes seems to be more sensitive than traditional approaches for detecting deficits in stroke people. However, it is important to pursue work in this emergent field in clinical neuropsychology.
