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.

Motor recovery after stroke: Lessons from functional brain imaging

 Useless, you tell us NOTHING on the protocols to get to 100% recovery. YOU'RE FIRED!

Motor recovery after stroke: Lessons from functional brain imaging

Pages 453-458 | Published online: 19 Jul 2013
 

Several theories have been proposed to explain recovery from stroke. Functional brain imaging offers an opportunity to evaluate these theories and visualize recovery after stroke. Functional brain imaging has proven to be an effective tool to map brain areas activated during a specific task. This paradigm can extend our understanding of the mechanisms of motor recovery after stroke. Functional brain imaging tools such as functional MRI, PET, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, and transcranial magnetic stimulation can be used to evaluate motor activation after stroke. Functional imaging is proving useful in identifying areas, pathways and mechanisms involved in motor recovery after stroke. Studies have shown changes in motor organization with rehabilitation. Functional brain imaging may assist in the selection of rehabilitation methods that best foster recovery. [Neurol Res 2002; 24: 453-458]
