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.

Failure at peanut butter spreading again

 My therapists tried to suggest compensation like nails in cutting boards or raised edges. I don't want compensation; I want recovery of my left hand. Right now it is pretty much totally useless due to spasticity and because of the infuriating opinion of Dr. William M. Landau that seems to have short-circuited spasticity research. Schadenfreude can't come soon enough.

Spasticity After Stroke: Why Bother? Aug. 2004)

One-handed spreading of peanut fails spectacularly. At least this time it didn't go on the floor. There is no way I can get my left hand to stay in one position long enough to prevent the bread from going off the plate. My fingers won't open at all unless I use my right hand to pry them open, and then they just immediately close up again
.

At least jelly spreads pretty easily
