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.

A Kinematic Data Based Lower Limb Motor Function Evaluation Method for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Survivors really don't care about cost. 100% recovery is what they care about.

SOLVE THAT YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

Oops, I'm not playing by the polite rules of Dale Carnegie, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.

Telling stroke medical persons they know nothing about stroke is a no-no even if it is true.

Politeness will never solve anything in stroke. Yes, I'm a bomb thrower and proud of it. Someday a stroke 'leader' will try to ream me out for making them look bad by being truthful , I look forward to that day.

A Kinematic Data Based Lower Limb Motor Function Evaluation Method for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

Abstract:

Recent studies have demonstrated that home-based rehabilitation for stroke patients has excellent potential in reducing the cost and enhancing rehabilitation efficiency. Nonetheless, a timely and accurate rehabilitation assessment is required to attain efficacy and provide feedback to both clinicians and patients. In this paper, a lower limb motor function assessment approach based on limb kinematic data has been presented. The kinematic characteristics of lower limbs were quantified into specific evaluation parameters, which were calculated during a set of selected rehabilitation exercises. A body area network composed of two triaxial accelerometers was used to acquire the limb kinematic data of twenty stroke patients and six healthy subjects. While a referenced template was developed using the data from healthy subjects, an empirical score was obtained to evaluate the lower-limb motor function of stroke patients from the calculated parameters. The results have demonstrated that the scoring has a statistically significant strong correlation with the Brunnstrom stage classification, which provides a practical quantitative evaluation approach for home-based rehabilitation for lower limbs of stroke patients.Clinical Relevance— The proposed quality assessment method provides practical technical support for performing early support discharge rehabilitation.
