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.

Individuals with higher levels of physical activity after stroke show comparable patterns of myelin to healthy older adults

So the implication is that myelin is damaged in your stroke so your doctor needs protocols to repair that damage. What are they?

Abstract: Study determined whether individuals with higher levels of physical activity (PA) showed lower myelin asymmetry ratios (MARs) after stroke compared to individuals with lower levels of PA. Myelin water fraction was obtained from 5 bilateral motor regions in 22 individuals with chronic stroke and 26 healthy older adults. Activity levels were quantified with wrist accelerometers worn for a period of 72 hours (3 days). Higher and lower PA levels were defined by a cluster analysis within each group. MAR was similar regardless of PA level within the older adult group. Compared to the higher PA stroke group, lower PA stroke participants displayed greater MAR. There was no difference in MAR between the stroke and older adult higher PA groups. Within the lower PA groups, individuals with stroke showed greater MAR compared to the older adults. Arm impairment, lesion volume, age, time since stroke, and preferential arm use were not different between the PA stroke groups, suggesting that motor impairment severity and extent of brain damage did not drive differences in PA. Individuals who have had a stroke and are also physically active display lower MAR (i.e., similar myelin in both hemispheres) in motor regions. High levels of PA may be neuroprotective and mitigate myelin asymmetries once a neurological insult, such as a stroke, occurs. Alternately, it is possible that promoting high levels of PA after a stroke may reduce myelin asymmetries.
