Deans' stroke musings: Measurement of trunk muscle strength after stroke: An integrative review.

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.

Measurement of trunk muscle strength after stroke: An integrative review.

What the fuck good did this research do for getting survivors recovered? Oh, nothing? You're fired!

Abstract: Article summarizes research addressing what is known about measurements of trunk muscle strength after stroke. A total of 260 potentially relevant research articles were identified via 3 electronic database searches and a hand search; 28 articles met the inclusion criteria. The research was examined for information on patients, measurement procedures and study findings. Findings regarding measurement properties (i.e., validity, reliability, and responsiveness) were of particular interest. Evidence involving diverse populations and measurement procedures demonstrates that trunk muscle strength is impaired after stroke. Many studies show that measurements of trunk muscle strength have known-groups/conditions and convergent validity with balance and performance of functional activities. The literature also supports the reliability of measurements of trunk strength after stroke. Little is known regarding the responsiveness of the measurements.
