Deans' stroke musings: Opening the Black Box of Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: Stroke Rehabilitation Patients, Processes, and Outcomes

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.

Opening the Black Box of Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: Stroke Rehabilitation Patients, Processes, and Outcomes

You can look all you want but I'm positive that the 'black box' is totally empty. Or maybe Schrödinger's cat is in it and already dead. There are NO PROTOCOLS FOR STROKE REHAB. All we get are shitty guidelines.

Abstract

DeJong G, Horn SD, Conroy B, Nichols D, Healton EB. Opening the black box of post-stroke rehabilitation: stroke rehabilitation patients, processes, and outcomes. This article introduces the journal's supplement devoted to the methods and findings of the 7-site Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Outcomes Project (PSROP), a study designed to provide a very granular in-depth understanding of stroke rehabilitation practice and how practice is related to outcomes. The article summarizes current knowledge about the effectiveness of post-stroke rehabilitation, outlines where the PSROP fits into the broader traditions of stroke rehabilitation outcomes research, underscores the study's methodologic innovations, and summarizes the scope of the articles that follow.
