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.

An Exploration of Patient Perspectives on Factors Affecting Participation in Stroke Rehabilitation

This is so damned simple. Patient engagement is less than optimal because you fucking idiots have NO PROTOCOLS LEADING TO 100% RECOVERY.  Talk to some intelligent patients sometime, I'm available.

Abstract: 

Though patient participation is recognized as an important element of rehabilitation, few studies have used a qualitative lens to specifically examine factors influencing patient-participation in stroke rehabilitation. Thus, the purpose of this work was to explore factors perceived by service users to influence their participation in hospital-based stroke rehabilitation activities and to use this information to generate knowledge relevant for the clinical context of stroke rehabilitation. The following research gaps provided rationale for this work: 1) no published studies from the patients’ perspective on influencers of participating in hospital-based stroke rehabilitation programs, and 2) limited studies about influences on participation in hospital-based stroke rehabilitation. The first manuscript (chapter two) was designed to specifically address these gaps while the second manuscript (chapter three) was developed to highlight important findings surrounding rehabilitation intensity from chapter two. This thesis has discussed a number of patient-perceived barriers and facilitators to participating in stroke rehabilitation, which the final chapter conceptualizes into a framework of personalized rehabilitation representing a patient-centred approach to providing rehabilitation that encourages patient participation. Together, this thesis contributes knowledge about: 1) patient perspectives on factors affecting participation in stroke rehabilitation, 2) promoting patient participation, 3) shortcomings in closing the evidence-to-practice gap with respect to therapy intensity during inpatient stroke rehabilitation, and 4) insights into an exploratory framework of personalized rehabilitation developed from service users’ perspectives of stroke rehabilitation. In addition, this work emphasizes a call to action for the delivery of user-centered stroke care, specifically in regard to rehabilitation intensity during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. The implications of this work are directed at stroke rehabilitation providers as well as policy makers and stroke health system planners in order to develop appropriate and effective services and strategies for optimal recovery and successful implementation of best practice recommendations.URI: http://hdl.handle.net/11375/25303Appears in Collections:Open Access Dissertations and Theses
