Deans' stroke musings: Inpatient rehab better for stroke patient’s recovery than SNFs, study suggests

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.

Inpatient rehab better for stroke patient’s recovery than SNFs, study suggests

So still a failure because you don't mention anyone getting to 100% recovery. WHY THE FUCK should survivors accept your tyranny of low expectations? The only goal in stroke is 100% recovery, NOT 'greater improvements'.

Inpatient rehab better for stroke patient’s recovery than SNFs, study suggests

Inpatient rehabilitation facilities may be a better post-acute option for stroke patients compared with skilled nursing facilities, according to a new study.

University of Texas researchers found that IRF patients had greater improvements in physical mobility and self-care functions when compared to patients who were discharged to SNFs.

Investigators said the decision-making process in selecting post-acute care services is “heavily influenced by non-clinical factors,” and the findings indicate the “need to carefully manage discharge to post-acute care based on the patient’s needs and potential for recovery.”

The investigation included 99,185 stroke patients who received post-acute care services at a SNF or IRF between Jan. 2013 and Nov. 2014. Researchers used Medicare claims data to compare the assessments.

The findings were published Wednesday in JAMA.
