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.

Mortality Following Trajectories of Mobility Limitations: The Modifying Impact of Social Factors

It is your doctor's responsibility to get you 100% recovered so you don't have mobility limitations and higher mortality.  Don't let your doctor weasel out of this by using the craptastic statement; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'.  Maniacal laughter in their face is the appropriate response to that shitworthy statement. 

Mortality Following Trajectories of Mobility Limitations: The Modifying Impact of Social Factors 

First Published November 15, 2018 Research Article Find in PubMed







Objective:
How are trajectories of mobility limitations (MLs) among older adults associated with mortality? Do social factors modify these associations?  
Method: Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify four trajectories of MLs over a period of 4.5 years among 3,055 older Danes. Mortality analyses were conducted using additive hazard regression models.  
Results: Compared to older adults without MLs, older adults with high level of MLs who experienced further increase in MLs were associated with the most additional deaths followed by older adults with no MLs at baseline who later experienced limitations and older adults with a medium ML level at baseline who later experienced further increase in limitations. Men and 80-year olds experienced more additional deaths following adverse ML trajectories than women and 75-year olds.  
Discussion: Trajectories that led to higher ML levels were associated with most additional deaths especially among men and in the oldest age group.
