Deans' stroke musings: Circadian activity rhythm and fragmentation are associated with sleep-wake patterns and sleep quality in patients with stroke

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.

Circadian activity rhythm and fragmentation are associated with sleep-wake patterns and sleep quality in patients with stroke

My conclusion being a sleep protocol needs to be written up.

Abstract: Study evaluated the circadian activity rhythm and its influence on sleep-wake patterns in patients with stroke. Ten adults with and 10 without stroke participated in the study; they were matched on age, sex and educational level. Neurological status, motor function, sleep quality, and activity levels were measured. The groups were compared using Student t-tests and the association between the measures was assessed using Pearson’s correlation. Compared to people without stroke, those with stroke had worse sleep quality, twice as low 24-hour activity levels, higher inter-daily stability and intra-daily variability, lower activity during the most active 10 hours and during the least active 5 hours. Sleep quality was associated with activity level and with within-day activity variability. The results indicate poorer quality of sleep in patients with stroke. Activity rhythm and fragmentation can alter the sleep-wake pattern and impair quality of sleep in patients with stroke, thus it needs be considered in the rehabilitation process.
