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.

Brain Health: A Concept Analysis

Sounds useful IF it could be applied to stroke.

Abstract

The concept of brain health has been inconsistently used across disciplines. This concept analysis sought to clarify brain health and construct a unified definition that may lead to consistent use of this concept. The analysis used Walker and Avant's framework to identify scholarly reports on the concept of brain health from various electronic databases. Building on the identified data sources, brain health can be understood as the brain's ability to optimally adapt to internal and external human conditions through cognitive and emotional responses across one's lifespan, which result in sustainable positive changes in brain structures and functional features. This analysis emphasized that maintaining brain health has positive implications on an individual's lifelong quality of health, independence, and delaying cognitive decline. By clarifying uses and definitions of the concept of brain health, this concept analysis may enable researchers and clinicians to evaluate and interpret the concept related data consistently.
