Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

Researchers build robotic tail to help the elderly keep their balance
So ask your doctor if this would be much better than any of the fall prevention protocols they are using on survivors. And you could easily sweep a table clean of all food and dishes.
TOKYO — Millions of years after the ancestors of humans evolved
to lose their tails, a research team at Japan’s Keio University has
built a robotic one that they say could help unsteady elderly people
keep their balance.
Dubbed Arque, the gray, 1-meter device mimics tails such as those of
cheetahs and other animals used to keep their balance while running and
climbing, according to the Keio team.
“The tail keeps balance like a pendulum,” said Junichi Nabeshima, a
graduate student and researcher at the university’s Embodied Media
Project, displaying the robotic tail attached to his waist with a
harness.
“When a human tilts their body one way, the tail moves in the opposite direction.”
As Japan grays, it is leading the industrial world in seeking ways to keep its aging population mobile and productive.
While other nations have turned to immigrant workers to replenish a
shrinking workforce, less welcoming Japan has focused more on a
technological solution.
The robotic tail, which uses four artificial muscles and compressed
air to move in eight directions, will remain in the lab for now, as
researchers look for ways to make it more flexible, Nabeshima said.
Apart from helping the elderly get around, the team is looking at
industrial applications for the artificial appendage, such as a balance
aid for warehouse workers carrying heavy loads.
“I think it would be nice to incorporate this further developed
prosthetic tail into daily life, when one seeks a little more help
balancing,” Nabeshima said.
