Deans' stroke musings: Association between sleep duration and functional disability in inpatient stroke rehabilitation: A pilot observational study

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.

Association between sleep duration and functional disability in inpatient stroke rehabilitation: A pilot observational study

But do sleeping pills create good sleep? They were regularly handed out at 10 pm. Almost every morning at 7am the vampires came in to draw blood from someone in the quad. Obviously on the clinical staff schedule, damn what the sleep needs are of the patients.

Abstract:

Study examined the change in sleep duration during inpatient rehabilitation and determined if sleep quality and sleep duration are associated with functional disability for individuals after stroke. It was hypothesized that participants who experienced optimal sleep during inpatient rehabilitation would have greater functional ability at discharge. Thirty-seven individuals with acute stroke were invited to participate in the study by clinical personnel associated with their usual care as they were admitted to inpatient rehabilitation. Participants were asked to wear an actigraph for the duration of their rehabilitation program to assess sleep. The first 3 nights of actigraphy data were averaged to obtain total sleep time (TST) and sleep efficiency (SE) at admission, and the last 3 nights were averaged for TST and SE at discharge. The primary outcome, functional disability measured by the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission and discharge, was gathered from the participants’ medical records. One-way analysis of variance and chi-square analyses assessed for group differences, and regression modeling was used to determine if sleep was associated with functional ability at discharge. Sixteen participants (43 percent) were categorized as “good sleepers” and 21 (57 percent) were “poor sleepers” based on their TST at admission. Of the poor sleepers, 14 participants (66 percent) remained short duration sleepers (<7 hours at admission and discharge). Sleep outcomes did not significantly predict the FIM score at discharge.
