Deans' stroke musings: Lower-limb motor coordination is significantly impaired in ambulatory people with chronic stroke: A cross-sectional study

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.

Lower-limb motor coordination is significantly impaired in ambulatory people with chronic stroke: A cross-sectional study

So fucking what if it is impaired? What are you going to do about it? With no protocol, I guess nothing. I would fire you. Couldn't find the LEMOCOT test, so no clue how objective it is.

Abstract: Study examined the deficits of motor coordination of the lower limbs after stroke, in comparison with healthy controls, and investigated whether the magnitude of the deficits would be influenced by the levels of motor recovery. Lower-limb motor coordination of both 97 individuals with chronic stroke (55 men, mean age 58 years) and 97 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers was measured using the Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT). The motor coordination deficits of the participants with stroke were analyzed all together and separated, according to their levels of motor recovery, measured using the Fugl-Meyer lower-limb motor section scores. Results indicated that motor coordination was significantly impaired on both paretic and non-paretic lower limbs. Significant differences in the LEMOCOT scores were found between the levels of motor recovery, except between the participants with marked and moderate impairments. This study found that motor coordination of the lower limbs is significantly impaired after stroke, but the deficits of the non-paretic lower limb (17 percent) appear not to be clinically relevant. These findings suggest that interventions prescribed to improve motor coordination after stroke should focus on the paretic lower limb and/or include bilateral activities.
