Deans' stroke musings: Association between Gait Performance and the Trunk Extension Range of Motion in Post-stroke Hemiplegia

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.

Association between Gait Performance and the Trunk Extension Range of Motion in Post-stroke Hemiplegia

Useless until you write up a protocol on how to increase trunk extension. Describing a problem does absolutely no good unless you provide a solution.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the association between gait performance and trunk extension range of motion in post-stroke hemiplegia. The study involved 12 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia during the maintenance phase, whose active/passive trunk extension ranges of motion were measured, adopting the Japanese Orthopedic Association’s method. As for gait performance, the patients’ gait velocity, cadence, and stride length were calculated from their 10-m Test scores and examined using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The active trunk extension range of motion showed strong correlations with the gait velocity and stride length. The trunk extension range of motion of the patients with post-stroke hemiplegia represented their gait performance. Based on these findings, the active trunk extension range of motion may be associated with gait in post-stroke hemiplegia.
