Deans' stroke musings: Towards better understanding gait performance in people with stroke and the influence of trunk rehabilitation on gait recovery.

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.

Towards better understanding gait performance in people with stroke and the influence of trunk rehabilitation on gait recovery.

Has your doctor measured your trunk impairment scale and implemented protocols to correct any problems found? Only 6 years to do this; why is your doctor still employed there?

Towards better understanding gait performance in people with stroke and the influence of trunk rehabilitation on gait recovery.

Abstract:

Previous work from the stroke rehabilitation research group in the area of trunk rehabilitation delivered the Trunk Impairment Scale, a standardized and globally used clinical measurement tool to assess trunk function after stroke in clinical practice and research. Furthermore, it was established that assessment of trunk function early after stroke is a significant and independent predictor of functional outcome at six months. Although therapeutic approaches for improving trunk function post stroke exist, this research project will focus on novel approaches for trunk rehabilitation in the different phases after stroke. Recent advances in the field of rehabilitation technology provide opportunities for further embedding trunk-oriented therapy in the rehabilitation of people post stroke and will be investigated in this project, aimed at providing proof-of-principle and preliminary evidence towards effectiveness for improving trunk, motor and functional outcome.
