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.

MedRhythms' InTandem® Rehabilitation System for Chronic Stroke Gait Impairment Receives Final Medicare Payment Determination from CMS

 But will it fix gait problems due to spasticity? You incompetently don't know that answer?

I can't for the life of me figure out what this is, Google searches provide nothing. A tiny bit more information here: FDA lists MedRhythms’ InTandem neurorehabilitation system as Class II device

MedRhythms' InTandem® Rehabilitation System for Chronic Stroke Gait Impairment Receives Final Medicare Payment Determination from CMS        

PORTLAND, Maine, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MedRhythms, Inc. today announced that InTandem®, the company's flagship rehabilitation system for chronic stroke gait impairment, received a final pricing determination from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS finalized the preliminary pricing determination that payments would be made on a capped rental basis, with monthly Medicare payment amounts based on the commercial pricing for InTandem.

As previously announced, CMS established a new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code for InTandem (E3200, "Gait modulation system, rhythmic auditory stimulation, including restricted therapy software, all components and accessories, prescription only") and confirmed a Medicare benefit category determination of durable medical equipment (DME). This new pricing determination will take effect for InTandem claims with dates of service on or after April 1, 2025.

"We founded MedRhythms and developed InTandem to bring an innovative, transformational device into the lives of people living with chronic stroke walking impairments," said Brian Harris, MedRhythms' CEO and Co-Founder. "Achieving this key milestone is another crucial step in ensuring patients in need can access InTandem. We thank CMS for their consideration."

InTandem delivers individualized, progressive rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) therapy in the home setting, producing gait quality and speed improvements which are important to improve health outcomes and reduce the risk of adverse health events common in post-stroke patients. By leveraging wearable, clinical-grade gait sensors and a hardware control unit containing adaptive algorithms and clinically optimized music, InTandem effectively automates the key principles of RAS therapy in combination with best practices for neurorehabilitation interventions—individualization, progression, and challenge—enabling patients to access this evidence-based intervention independently at home.
