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.

Abstract

Despite surviving an acute stage of an illness, geriatric people suffer from chronic impairment and disability. Improving quality of life in an ageing population is complicated with comorbidities, decreased psychological ability to cope, issues related to frailty, and wavering socio-economic circumstances. To achieve improved health or a near normal function up to premorbid level, special considerations for rehabilitation in geriatric population are required. The present chapter illustrates the above through case series of three geriatric patients, who suffered from stroke and despite receiving treatment from the primary physician and some rehabilitation inputs, these patients continued to show a decline. However, timely intervention and comprehensive assessment by the rehabilitation physicians brought forth significant factors hindering their rehabilitation, which were resolved through the multi-disciplinary and holistic approach of rehabilitation. Changes in the disabilities of these individuals reduced the burden on the caregivers/family members and reduced financial costs.
