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.

A review of the progression and future implications of brain-computer interface therapies for restoration of distal upper extremity motor function after stroke

If you were to properly think about this, all rehab therapies would work much better with vastly fewer dead neurons. And you do that by stopping the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.

If my doctors had done that they would have saved me  5.4 billion neurons. Recovery would have been easy with only 171 million dead neurons.  And sending a bill to my doctor and stroke hospital at $1000 a dead neuron would only cost them 5.4 trillion dollars. That might concentrate their minds.  I don't expect neuroplasticity or neurogenesis to be precisely repeatable for at least 50 years. No one is looking at the signals that occur between neurons such that one neuron drops its current function and takes on a neighbor's function. Knowing that process is the only way to make neuroplasticity EXACTLY REPEATABLE.

 ABSTRACT

Stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability resulting in distal upper extremity functional motor impairment. Stroke mortality rates continue to decline with advances in healthcare and medical technology. This has led to an increased demand for advanced, personalized rehabilitation. Survivors often experience some level of spontaneous recovery shortly after their stroke event, yet reach a functional plateau after which there is exiguous motor recovery. Nevertheless, studies have demonstrated the potential for recovery beyond this plateau. Non-traditional neurorehabilitation techniques,such as those incorporating the brain-computer interface (BCI), are being investigated for rehabilitation. BCIs may offer a gateway to the brain’s plasticity and revolutionize how humans interact with the world.Non-invasive BCIs work by closing the proprioceptive feedback loop with real-time, multi-sensory feedback allowing for volitional modulation of brain signals to assist hand function. BCI technology potentially promotes neuroplasticity and Hebbian-based motor recovery by rewarding cortical activity associated with sensory-motor rhythms through use with a variety of self-guided and assistive modalities. (So you really know nothing useful?)
