Your definition of effective is not what stroke survivors would say. 100% recovery is effective. You just happen to be a complete failure in that regard since you're not even measuring it.
Business 101: If you don't measure it, it is not important, so obviously 100% recovery is not important.
“What's measured, improves.” So said management legend and author Peter F. Drucker

Clinical trials show that the Mercy Health mobile stroke unit is effective
Toledo, Ohio — A clinical trial of Mercy Health’s mobile stroke unit proved to be effective in reducing stroke damage.(You are using your tyranny of low expectations to justify having the wrong goal in stroke rehab. Contrary to everything your stroke survivor wants!)
A national clinical trial recently published by the American Heart Association International Stroke Conference showed that a mobile stroke unit helped patients reduce their disability and recover better in 90 days. Mercy has been providing special stroke treatment since 2016.
The study concluded that for every 100 patients treated by the mobile stroke unit team, rather than standard care, 27 had less disability and 11 had no disability.
“This study is a testament to our ministry’s commitment to providing superior care to the community with state-of-the-art technology,” said Dr. Sam Zaidat, a neurovascular surgeon and director of the Mercy Health Neuroscience Institute. .. “This study concluded that the outcome of stroke patients treated with MSU-loaded intravenous tPA was superior to those waiting for bolus and infusion in ED.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and continues to be the leading cause of long-term disability. Stroke occurs when blood vessels in the brain are blocked and cells are deprived of oxygen.
The American Heart Association uses the letter FAST to raise awareness of stroke symptoms.
Other symptoms of stroke are:
- confusion
- Numbness, numbness or weakness on one side of the body
- dizzy
- Adjustment issues
- headache
- Hard to see
