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.

Electrical stimulation devices for the prevention of venous thromboembolism: Preliminary studies of physiological efficacy and user satisfaction

I wish they would just write a protocol on  which method of leg compressions is best. Maybe one of these: 6 and 7 years and nothing done. Your hospital is totally fucking incompetent.  Every single hospital should be disputing what I'm saying but they won't. They don't even know I exist criticizing their complete existence.

Leg compressions may enhance stroke recovery August 2012

Leg wraps raise hopes of saved lives after strokes May 2013 

Your doctor and hospital not knowing and implementing these easy interventions is the very pinnacle of incompetence.

Abstract: Study explored the effects of electrical stimulation and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on enhancing lower-limb venous return in healthy individuals and chronic stroke patients, and also evaluate patient and nurse satisfaction with electrical stimulation devices. Researchers investigated the effectiveness of two electrical stimulation devices, Geko (Firstkind Ltd, High Wycombe, UK) and Orthopaedic Microstim 2V2 (Odstock Medical Ltd, Salisbury, UK); and one IPC device: Huntleigh Flowstron Universal (Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd, Cardiff, UK). The three interventions were applied to 12 healthy volunteers and 5 chronic stroke patients. The devices were fitted sequentially, and Doppler ultrasound measurements were taken. Eight patients and nurses were also recruited for a separate usability evaluation. The electrical stimulation devices emulated the blood flow characteristics of IPC in both healthy and stroke participants provided that the intensity of electrical stimulation was sufficient. Patients and nurses also felt that the electrical stimulation devices were acceptable. Findings suggest that electrical stimulation may offer benefit as an alternative method for venous thromboembolism prevention in stroke survivors.
