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.

Life After Stroke guide by American Stroke Association

You will notice the lying by omission that your chances of full recovery are only 10%. 

'THERE IS LIFE – AND HOPE – AFTER STROKE. WITH TIME, NEW ROUTINES WILL BECOME SECOND NATURE. REHABILITATION CAN BUILD YOUR STRENGTH, CAPABILITY AND CONFIDENCE. IT CAN HELP YOU CONTINUE YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES DESPITE THE EFFECTS OF YOUR STROKE.'

But they do employ the tyranny of low expectations and 'hope'.  36 pages of generalities and nothing specifically useful.

This on page 27 shows that you are going to have to forcefully push back against your stroke team lowering your goals to anything less than 100% recovery;

The rehabilitation team then works closely with the patient and family to develop a mutually agreeable(Don't agree to anything they suggest that is not 100% recovery, not compensation; RECOVERY!  Screaming may be required. They should feel incredibly uncomfortable they don't have 100% recovery protocols.) rehabilitation plan and set goals. They set a target date for achieving those goals.
