Deans' stroke musings: The comparison of clinical and computerized measurement of sitting balance in stroke patients and healthy individuals

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.

The comparison of clinical and computerized measurement of sitting balance in stroke patients and healthy individuals

So what the hell is the rehab needed to improve sitting balance? This was useless for that purpose. The purpose of stroke research is stroke rehab protocols. Or do your mentors and senior researchers need remedial training in that concept?

Abstract: Study compared the results of computerized and clinical sitting balance measurements in stroke patients and healthy individuals and to identify the agreement and relationship between the two measurement methods in stroke patients. This study included 30 chronic stroke patients and 30 age-matched healthy individuals. A force platform chair was used for the computerized measurement and the Function in Sitting Test (FIST) was used for the clinical sitting balance measurement. The sitting balance of the stroke patients, measured with computerized and clinical measurements, were still affected in the chronic phase. The CoP deviation (eyes-open and eyes-closed) was higher whereas the FIST score was lower in the stroke group than the healthy group. The computerized sitting balance measurement CoP deviation was not correlated with the FIST scores. However, there was an excellent agreement (96.6 percent) between the methods. The results suggest that both the computerized and clinical sitting balance measurements can be used objectively for the assessment of sitting balance but the computerized methods might be preferable due to requiring shorter time with less intra-tester variability.
