Deans' stroke musings: Accelerometer in stroke rehabilitation: A modern look at the assessment of physical activity

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.

Accelerometer in stroke rehabilitation: A modern look at the assessment of physical activity

'Assessments' are useless unless they are used to point to EXACT 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! Since this didn't do that, I'd have EVERYONE FIRED!

Abstract

The importance of improving the quality of rehabilitation approaches is becoming particularly relevant, as the number of people with stroke-related disabilities is expected to grow due to advances in treatment that contribute to an increase in overall patient survival. Improving the understanding of physical activity during stroke rehabilitation is important, as physical activity is directly related to the recovery process of patients. It not only promotes recovery after a stroke, but also improves the state of the cardiovascular system, cognitive and motor functions, improves mood and increases survival. In this review, the authors analyzed the literature data on the use of accelerometry in the first stage of rehabilitation after stroke. Accelerometry quantifies physical activity by recording movements using accelerometers that measure acceleration along one or more axes. Accelerometry is a promising tool for improving the measurement of physical activity intensity during rehabilitation, although in practice its use remains limited. The use of the V3 and V3+ frameworks, which cover aspects of ergonomics testing, analytical and clinical validation, highlights the importance of a comprehensive assessment of accelerometry-based tools. The available data confirm the effectiveness of accelerometry in determining the intensity of physical activity, but also indicate an existing gap in the data of analytical and clinical studies.
