Deans' stroke musings: Life after a stroke: rehabilitating the mind and body

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.

Stroke affects up to 10% of older adults in Canada, making it the third leading cause of death nationally, and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Ischaemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain cells to die. We know that time is of the essence when it comes to getting to the hospital for treatment. But for many people, recovery from the initial event is just the beginning of a longer period of rehabilitation to restore lost function caused by the stroke. Strokes can cause a variety of temporary or permanent disabilities, including paralysis, pain or difficulty completing daily activities such as walking, eating, or getting dressed.
The good news is, according to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, remarkable progress has been made in tackling cardiovascular disease in Canada over the past 60 years, with death rates declining by more than 75 percent. Research advances have also played a key role in fighting acute ischaemic stroke. We have compiled some of the latest research on strokes including rehabilitating movement and language after experiencing a stroke.
