Deans' stroke musings: Identifying factors associated with sedentary time after stroke. Secondary analysis of pooled data from nine primary studies

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.

Identifying factors associated with sedentary time after stroke. Secondary analysis of pooled data from nine primary studies

STOP BLAMING THE PATIENT! The doctor is the failure point for not contacting researchers to get every stroke patient 100% recovered.

Abstract: Study identified factors associated with high sedentary time in community-dwelling people with stroke. For this data pooling study, authors of published and ongoing trials that collected sedentary time data, using the activPAL monitor, in community-dwelling people with stroke were invited to contribute their raw data. The data was reprocessed; algorithms were created to identify sleep-wake time and determine the percentage of waking hours spent sedentary. Linear regressions (adjusting for age, gender, and study) were conducted to determine the association of demographic and stroke-related factors with percentage of total sedentary time, percentage of sedentary time in bouts greater than 30 minutes, and percentage of sedentary time in bouts greater than 60 minutes. The 274 included participants were from Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and spent, on average, 69 percent of their waking hours sedentary. Of the demographic and stroke-related factors evaluated, only slower walking speeds were significantly and independently associated with a higher percentage of waking hours spent sedentary and uninterrupted sedentary bouts greater than 30 minutes and greater than 60 minutes. Regression models explained 11 to 19 percent of the variance in total sedentary time and time in prolonged sedentary bouts. This study found that variability in sedentary time of people with stroke was largely unaccounted for by demographic and stroke-related variables. Behavioral and environmental factors are likely to play an important role in sedentary behavior after stroke. Further work is required to develop and test effective interventions to address sedentary behavior after stroke.
