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.

Knee sleeve

 In order not to trigger my bursitis I have been methodically increasing my left leg stride, both forward and behind. That increases my knee snapping. Which one of my physical therapists should have told me about and what to do about it. Hell, there have been 10 million survivors a year for a long time. At least a few of them have had this problem and solved it. It should have been put in that public database of all stroke protocols and research.  So I bought a knee sleeve, not the pull on kind since I thought that might be a problem pulling on one handed depending on how tight it was. So I got a velcro one, which I have to use my right knee to hold it in place while I fasten it down. 

There is a hot or cold pack that can be inserted over the patella.
 

It works pretty well, snapping is considerably reduced.
