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.

Predicting longitudinal progression in functional mobility after stroke: A prospective cohort study

Whatever the fuck longitudinal progression is? Anyway, useless, just more prediction crapola.  Damn, we need survivors in charge so we don't waste resources on prediction and biomarker crapola like this. 

Predicting longitudinal progression in functional mobility after stroke: A prospective cohort study

Buvarp D, et al
Stroke|June 25, 2020
The present study was undertaken to ascertain longitudinal changes in functional mobility after stroke. Researchers evaluated functional mobility applying the Timed Up-and-Go test on 5 different occasions: 5 days after onset(I think at 5 days I got my AFO), within 24 hours after discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months, and 1 year post stroke. They stratified stroke severity based on impairments and activity limitations using a baseline cluster analysis. Developing a multilevel model, longitudinal progression in functional mobility based on stroke severity was prognosticated. This study enrolled a total of 135 patients at baseline. It was indicated that the recovery of functional mobility differs between mild and moderate stroke. During the first 3 months, individuals with moderate stroke improved their functional mobility, after which it decreased significantly. These data imply that long-term rehabilitation is desirable to maintain and perhaps elevate the gained functional mobility. This study highlight that older individuals and those with moderate impairments and activity limitations have particular needs. Read the full article on Stroke.
