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.

Determinants of health status after stroke: A cohort study with repeated measurements

Well this was totally useless. Nothing of how well their recovery went based upon the rehab they were given, that will determine your health status. You are not even measuring the right things.  Who the fuck approved this crapola?

Determinants of health status after stroke: A cohort study with repeated measurements

Larsen LP, Johnsen SP, Andersen G, et al.
Clinical Epidemiology|November 16, 2020

Researchers used a large population-based cohort of first time Danish stroke patients to determine the course as well as the determinants of the course of physical and mental health status post-stroke with repeated measurements. They assessed 2,414 first time stroke patients who were admitted to any hospital in the Central Denmark Region, Denmark, between October 1, 2008 and January 1, 2012 with five questionnaires over 2 years. No comorbidity, older age, male gender, and mild stroke severity were identified as variables related to increasing self-rated mental health, while mild stroke severity, no comorbidity, higher educational level, and younger age were reported as the variables related to increasing ratings of physical health. Findings demonstrated a slight improvement over time in the majority of SF-12 sub-scales and the mental component score in a large, geographically well-defined population of first time stroke patients. The first 2 years post-stroke may reveal small improvements in self-rated mental health. Among sub-groups, disparity in level as well as course exist, and treatment of comorbidity may represent an essential target with respect to rehabilitation.
