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.

A Framework to Design Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy (VRMT) for Motor Rehabilitation in Post- Stroke Survivors: Dosage, Motivation, Task Difficulty, Feedback and Mechanism

We haven't even gotten protocols on basic mirror therapy done in the past 12 years, why are we working on something new? Who approved this abomination?

Abstract—

The primary goal of mirror therapy is to alleviate symptoms and improve motor function and perception. It involves using a mirror to create a visual illusion that the affected limb is moving regularly and painlessly. Mirror therapy is often used in conjunction with traditional physical and occupational therapy methods and has been studied for post-stroke rehabilitation. However, mirror therapy effectiveness can vary among individuals(It shouldn't if you had EXACT STROKE PROTOCOLS based upon the EXACT DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS!). Virtual reality mirror therapy (VRMT) is an advanced application of mirror therapy that utilises virtual reality technology to enhance rehabilitation. While traditional mirror therapy uses a physical mirror to create the illusion of movement in the affected limb, VR mirror therapy takes advantage of immersive digital environments to provide a more engaging and customizable experience. This approach is particularly beneficial for stroke rehabilitation. The paper summarises four key design factors: e dosage, motivation, task difficulty and sensory feedback. In addition, it indicates the potential role of mirror neurons in both mirror therapy and VRMT and highlights three areas for future VRMT studies
