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.

Advancing stroke rehabilitation: the role of wearable technology according to research experts

 In simple words; the complete stroke medical world is totally fucking incompetent for not already having protocols on wearables! 

With all this information out there who thinks this shows any sign of competence in your stroke medical 'professionals'? No one from the stroke medical world has ever contacted me to tell me I'm full of shit. I'm happily waiting for that day, it will be fun.

    Abstract

    Background

    Advancements in wearable technology have created new opportunities to monitor stroke survivors’ behaviors in daily activities. Research insights are needed to guide its adoption in clinical practice, address current gaps, and shape the future of stroke rehabilitation. This project aims to: (1) Understand stroke rehabilitation researchers’ perspectives on the opportunities, challenges, and clinical relevance of wearable technology for stroke rehabilitation, and (2) Identify necessary next steps to integrate wearable technology in research and clinical practice.

    Methods

    Using a phenomenological qualitative design, two 90-minute focus groups were conducted with 12 rehabilitation researchers. The focus groups consisted of semi-structured, open-ended questions on functional movement behavior, motor performance and benefits and pitfalls of wearable technology. The transcribed focus groups were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

    Results

    Three main themes were derived from the analysis: (1) Assessing activity performance is critical to inform interventions, (2) The demonstrated benefit is not commensurate with the added hassle, (3) Collaboration is needed between the industry, academia and end-users. Necessary future steps were recognized including the identification of intuitive and actionable metrics, and the integration of sensor-derived data with electronic health records and into clinical workflow to support self-management strategies.

    Conclusion

    Wearable technology shows great potential to complement and support stroke rehabilitation. Many key barriers to clinical adoption remain(Well solve them! LEADERS WOULD SOLVE THEM! You're not leaders, are you?) which underscore the necessity to foster collaborations between industry, academia, and the participants we serve.

    IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION

    • Wearable technology provides critical information about activity performance to understand stroke survivors’ behavior and inform interventions.

    • Concerted efforts of interdisciplinary research teams in partnerships with users and the industry are essential to accelerate clinical and research adoption.
