Deans' stroke musings: Improvements in balance reaction impairments following reactive balance training in individuals with sub-acute stroke: A prospective cohort study with historical control

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.

Improvements in balance reaction impairments following reactive balance training in individuals with sub-acute stroke: A prospective cohort study with historical control

Unless this is written in protocol format and distributed to all 10 million yearly stroke survivors it will be completely fucking useless.

Abstract:

Study evaluated changes in common balance reaction impairments in individuals with sub-acute stroke resulting from reactive balance training (RBT), relative to traditional balance training, using a prospective cohort study design with a historical control group. Individuals with sub-acute stroke completed either RBT or traditional balance training as part of their routine care during physiotherapy in inpatient rehabilitation. Reactive balance control was assessed using lean-and-release perturbations preintervention, post-intervention, and 6-months post-intervention (follow-up). Individuals with impaired balance reactions (delayed foot-off times, slide steps, and/or a preference for stepping with the preferred limb) at the preintervention assessment were identified using video and force plate data. Outcome measures (foot-off times, frequency of trials with slide steps, and stepping with the preferred limb) from the RBT participants with impaired reactions were compared for each of the three assessments to the mean values for the participants with impaired reactions in the historical control group. Improvements were observed in all outcome measures for the RBT participants between pre-intervention and post-intervention, and/or between post-intervention and follow-up. These improvements were generally equivalent to, if not better than, the improvements demonstrated by the historical control group. Findings further support the use of RBT for post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation and provide insight into specific balance reaction impairments that are improved by RBT.
