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.

New advances in mechanomyography sensor technology and signal processing: Validity and intrarater reliability of recordings from stroke muscles

After you have measured the quality of the movement via mechanomyography, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE NEXT STEPS TO GET 100% RECOVERED? Don't know, then you didn't do your research properly and your mentors and senior researchers need to be fired. 

Nothing here will get any survivor closer to recovery. Useless. 

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie,  'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. 

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke "leader" will ream me out for being truthful, I look forward to that day.

Abstract: 

Study examined the validity and reliability of using mechanomyography to assess the quality of movement of the stroke-affected upper-limb. The gold standard for measuring muscle activity is electromyography; however, mechanomyography offers an appropriate alterative for home-based rehabilitation. In 18 healthy adults (27-82 years), mechanomyography and electromyography recordings were taken from the forearm flexor and extensor muscles during voluntary contractions. Isometric contractions were performed at different percentages of maximal force to examine the validity of mechanomyography. Root-mean-square of mechanomyography and electromyography was measured during 1-second epocs of isometric flexion and extension. Dynamic contractions were recorded during a tracking task on two days, one week apart, to examine reliability of muscle onset timing. Reliability of mechanomyography onset was high (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.78) and was comparable with electromyography (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.79). The correlation between force of contraction and mechanomyography was high. Results indicate that the mechanomyography device records valid and reliable signals of mechanical muscle activity on different days.
