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.

Are Muscle Synergies Useful for Stroke Rehabilitation?

Maybe something here?

Peter Levine has these four blog posts on synergy, so you can compare and use the best.  

I need to work on this yet since I still have some synergies, except that life and fun gets in the way of rehab. Happiness is the goal of life per Rupert Spira and therapy does not provide me with happiness. So for right now living life takes precedence.

Are Muscle Synergies Useful for Stroke Rehabilitation?

Highlights

•

Muscle synergy analyses capture changes in neuromuscular coordination post-stroke.

•

Synergies are a useful tool to assess motor impairments and rehabilitation efficacy.

•

Synergy-based rehabilitation would be an effective way to induce true recovery.

•

Simulation models help design objective synergy-based rehabilitation intervention.

•

Robotics: a beneficial way to apply the model-guided, synergy-based rehabilitation.

Abstract

Modular organization of human movement has been studied for several decades using muscle synergy analysis. Whether the reduction in control dimensionality calculated by muscle synergy analysis is of neural origin or only a mathematical construct remains controversial. Nonetheless, sufficient empirical evidence exists to support the potential utility of muscle synergy analysis for assessing and treating motor impairment. This paper reviews recent advances in the use of muscle synergy analysis to assess post-stroke motor impairment, assess stroke rehabilitation effectiveness, and design stroke rehabilitation approaches. Synergy-based rehabilitation strategies that attempt to correct impaired neuromuscular coordination have emerged only recently. Expansion of this promising area will likely require integration of muscle synergy concepts, patient-specific neuromusculoskeletal models, and rehabilitation robotics to identify optimal synergy changes and implement effective post-stroke training protocols that induce them.
