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.

Associate Professor in Stroke Rehabilitation

Notice the tyranny of low expectations even applies to our stroke professors. 'Care' NOT RESULTS!  Until this mindset changes stroke will never be solved. We need to have a lot of stroke professionals leave the stroke world voluntarily or involuntarily and start over with stroke survivors leading the stroke world. 

Associate Professor in Stroke Rehabilitation

Are you an experienced and influential academic with the proven ability to carry out teaching and research in stroke care? Do you have an excellent research track record, proven success obtaining funding and the vision and drive to tackle new challenges? Are you passionate about delivering world leading research and an exceptional student experience? 
We are seeking an Associate Professor with expertise and particular interest in stroke care to take a leading role in the existing team of applied health researchers and increase grant income from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and other funding bodies. It is anticipated that the successful candidate is likely to have expertise in a particular aspect of methodology, for example, qualitative approaches, behaviour change or intervention development. The post will be within the Academic Unit of Elderly Care and Rehabilitation, Leeds Institute of Health Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine and Health, University of Leeds with co-location in Bradford Institute for Health Research (BIHR) at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
You will contribute to the development and leadership of a multi-disciplinary research programme and foster collaborative relationships within the University and with NHS partners.  This post therefore represents an exciting opportunity for an individual keen to shape the strategic development of an established Academic Unit.
The Academic Unit has a large portfolio of stroke research encompassing national and international collaborations and a range of methods including Cochrane Reviews, quantitative and qualitative exploration. A productive collaboration with the Leeds Institute of Clinical Trials Research produced two of the largest ever stroke rehabilitation trials: evaluation of a carers training programme (TRACS) and a model for post-discharge care (LoTScare). Ongoing work includes an NIHR Programme Grant focused on improving longer-term outcomes for stroke survivors and their carers; and exploration and evaluation of strategies to reduce sedentary behaviour. All the work is supported by an active patient group.
