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.

Passive Range of Movement of fingers

Who will tell me the number of repetitions that I need to do  for my fingers to kill the spasticity in them? Should the fingers be done individually or can they be done as a group? Tell me a number and I will start counting. 10 million as a group? And then 10 million for each finger?  A billion or two?

I was at Jazz Tuesdays at Moriarties last night, So for three hours I could flex my fingers, if needed I could start counting and calculate how many hours  it would take to get to a specified number.  Others might need little motors to flex for them.  That is something a great stroke association could build and sell to the 10 million yearly stroke survivors.  I could use it also since I have to use my good hand to eat and drink. 

This way back in April 2004 gives some hints as to recovery via PROM. 

The effects of repetitive proprioceptive stimulation on corticomotor representation in intact and hemiplegic individuals.

If anyone followed this up with better research and a protocol I don't know where it is. This is precisely why I call then fucking failures of stroke associations, they do nothing for survivors.
