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 of backward walking unmasks mobility impairments in post-stroke community ambulators

Other research already out there: I bet your doctor and stroke hospital  are totally incompetent in not having this intervention already being used. My god, 13 and 14 years ago this research came out, bet your doctor doesn't even know about it.

Abstract: Study assessed spatiotemporal and kinematic backward walking (BW) characteristics in post-stroke community ambulators and compared their performance to controls. Fifteen post-stroke individuals and 12 healthy adults performed forward walking (FW) and BW during a single session. Step characteristics and peak lower-extremity joint angles were extracted using three-dimensional motion analysis and analyzed with mixed-method analyses of variance (group, walking condition). The stroke group demonstrated greater reductions in speed, step length, and cadence and a greater increase in double-support time during BW compared to FW. Compared to FW, the post-stroke group demonstrated greater reductions in hip extension and knee flexion during BW. The control group demonstrated decreased plantarflexion and increased dorsiflexion during BW, but these increases were attenuated in the post-stroke group. Assessment of BW can unmask post-stroke walking impairments not detected during typical FW. BW impairments may contribute to the mobility difficulties reported by adults following a stroke. Therefore, BW should be assessed when determining readiness for home and community ambulation.
