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.

Predictors of quality of life 1 year after minor stroke or TIA: A prospective single-centre cohort study

Oh god, what stupid laziness.  There is not a survivor in the world that gives a shit about predictions. They want EXACT stroke protocols that deliver 100% recovery. WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU DELIVER THAT?

Predictors of quality of life 1 year after minor stroke or TIA: A prospective single-centre cohort study

In this prospective observational cohort study conducted at a single-center hospital in the Netherlands and involving 120 individuals with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke who were discharged without rehabilitation treatment, researchers determined possible predictors of quality of life (QoL) in patients with TIA or minor stroke 1 year poststroke to identify which of these patients would require aftercare. Depression and anxiety at baseline predicted a worse mental component of QoL following 1 year. In addition, depression at baseline—along with age and female sex—predicted a worse physical component of QoL after 1 year. The authors concluded that identification of these predictors might enable more efficient and timely selection of patients with TIA or minor stroke who will require stroke aftercare.(Your tyranny of low expectations on full display here. If stroke is too difficult for you to solve please get out and let better people solve it.)
