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.

TURKISH VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE POUND SATISFACTION SCALE IN STROKE PATIENTS UNDERGOING REHABILITATION

Survivor validation of recovery satisfaction is binary, nothing special! Did you get 100% recovered? Y/N? If that is not your satisfaction scale, you're dong it all wrong!

ABSTRACT
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Pound Satisfaction
Scale (PSS).
Methods: For the adaptation of the PSS to Turkish (PSS-Tr), the translation and back-translation
process was carried out by following the international guidelines. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)
was performed to measure structural validity. The relationship between PSS-Tr and the Patient
Satisfaction Scale in Physiotherapy (PSSP) and the SF-36 was assessed for construct validity.
Convergent validity was evaluated computing by the Average Variance Extracted (AVE). Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient and Composite reliability (CR) for internal consistency of the PSS-Tr and Bland-
Altman plot and test-retest reliability analysis for temporal consistency were used.
Results: The study included 130 stroke patients. The fit index values of the CFA showed that
the structural validity of the PSS-Tr was appropriate (χ2/sd=1.779, RMSEA=0.075, GFI=0.911,
AGFI=0.853, CFI=0.955, NFI=0.905). A high correlation was found between the PSS-Tr total
score and the PSSP (p=0.001, r=0.672). A moderate correlation was found between the hospital
satisfaction sub-dimension of PSS-Tr, and the sub-dimensions of SF-36 (p=0.001, r=0.484-0.609),
while a low correlation was found between the home satisfaction sub-dimension of the PSS-Tr and
the physical functioning (p=0.002, r=0.266) and physical role (p=0.035, r=0.180) sub-dimensions of
SF-36. And also the PSS-Tr was found to have good internal (Cronbach alpha= 0.895, CR=0.94) and
temporal consistency (ICC = 0.976).
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Pound Satisfaction Scale (PSS-Tr) is reliable and valid. The
PSS-Tr may be useful for clinicians and researchers in assessing satisfaction with rehabilitation in
stroke patients.
