Deans' stroke musings: A prospective non-randomized feasibility study of an online membership-based fitness program for promoting physical activity in people with mobility impairments

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 prospective non-randomized feasibility study of an online membership-based fitness program for promoting physical activity in people with mobility impairments

My conclusion is you don't understand ONE GODDAMN THING ABOUT SURVIVOR MOTIVATION, DO YOU? You create EXACT 100% recovery protocols and your survivor will be motivated to do the millions of reps needed because they are looking forward to 100% recovery. GET THERE!

There would be no need for this useless research on promoting physical activity!

Abstract:

Study assessed the feasibility of delivering an online community membership-based fitness program for individuals with mobility impairments. Activity options included 16 pre-recorded videos and 9 live exercise classes. During the 8-week program, participants had an opportunity to earn three exercise incentives for reaching certain activity milestones. Enrollment percentage, attendance, and attrition were tracked to assess program feasibility and acceptability. Changes in participant-reported outcomes including self-reported physical activity, psychosocial outcomes, and health-related quality of life were examined using non-parametric analyses. Of the146 members who activated their online fitness account, 33 participants enrolled in the study and completed baseline assessments, and 31 were included in the analyses. Health conditions included stroke, post-polio, arthritis, neuropathy, cerebral palsy, and obesity. Ten participants used an assistive device to get around inside the home. Twenty-six participants (78.8 percent) completed the online program, and 5 participants earned all 3 participation incentives. The mean number of live Zoom exercise classes attended by the participants was 12.8 over 8 weeks; 3 of the 31 participants did not attend any classes. On average, participants watched 128 minutes of pre-recorded videos; 6 of 31 participants did not view any pre-recorded videos. Self-reported physical activity showed the largest improvement. The online program demonstrated preliminary effectiveness in increasing physical activity and was found to be feasible and acceptable.
