Deans' stroke musings: The role of rehabilitation psychology in stroke care described through case examples

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.

The role of rehabilitation psychology in stroke care described through case examples

You would need zero psychiatric or psychology care after stroke if you had 100% recovery protocols. Patients would be too busy doing and counting the reps needed to recover to even have any negative thoughts. Solve the correct problem, 100% recovery, not this secondary issue. Do you ever actually think about stroke?

Abstract:
Article describe the role of rehabilitation psychology in treating common post-stroke complaints and, ultimately, optimizing post-stroke outcomes. Two case examples of individuals in post-acute stroke rehabilitation describe psychological issues that were negatively affecting outcomes and how they were managed. Given the abrupt and significant life-changing nature of stroke, it is often necessary to manage a diverse array of psychological issues that often cannot be simply managed via psychotropic medications. Psychological disturbances may affect rehabilitation outcomes through a reduction in adherence to home exercise programs, reduced energy level, increased fatigue, reduced frustration tolerance, and potentially less motivation and hope about the future. Understanding the patients’ emotional adjustment and issues can help them maximize their rehabilitation, recovery, and community integration. For the cases discussed, psychology consultations were central in helping optimize their rehabilitation and functional outcomes.(So you are making them feel better about not getting recovered? Good job.)
