Deans' stroke musings: The effect of priming on outcomes of task-oriented training for the upper extremity in chronic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis

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 effect of priming on outcomes of task-oriented training for the upper extremity in chronic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis

I guess you'll have to start guessing what the hell priming is.

Abstract:

Study determined the effects of priming on task-oriented training on upper-extremity outcomes (body function and activity) in chronic stroke. The PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and PEDro databases were searched for relevant studies. Outcome data were pooled into categories of measures considering the International Classification Functional (ICF) classifications of body function and activity. Means and standard deviations for each group were used to determine group effect sizes by calculating mean differences (MDs) and 95-percent confidence (95%CI) intervals via a fixed effects model. Thirty-six studies with 814 patients undergoing various types of task-oriented training were included in the analysis. Of these studies, 17 were associated with stimulation priming, 12 with sensory priming, 4 with movement priming, and 3 with action observation priming. Stimulation priming showed moderate-quality evidence of body function. Only the Wolf Motor Function Test (time) in the activity domain showed low-quality evidence. However, gains in motor function and in use of extremity members were measured by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UE-FMA). Regarding sensory priming, moderate-quality evidence and effect size were found for the UE-FMA, corresponding to the body function domain (MD 4.77, 95%CI 3.25-6.29), and for the Action Research Arm Test, corresponding to the activity domain (MD 7.47, 95%CI 4.52-10.42). Despite the low-quality evidence, the study found an effect size (MD 8.64, 95%CI 10.85-16.43) in movement priming. Evidence for action observation priming was inconclusive. The findings suggest that combining priming and task-oriented training for the upper extremities of chronic stroke patients can be a promising intervention strategy.
