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.

Utilization of Virtual Reality for Upper Limb Motoric Rehabilitation of Post-Stroke Patients: A Sytematic Review

What was the point of this research when all this earlier research exists? You didn't create a protocol on VR use, so incompetence reigns!

     ABSTRACT 


     Background: 

    Stroke is a neurological disorder which is classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic. The increasing incidence of stroke worldwide has increased the need for rehabilitation. Virtual Reality (VR) is a new technology that is still being developed for the rehabilitation of post stroke patients. Several studies have shown that VR has good benefits to help the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients, especially in terms of patient motor skills. 

     Methods: 

    A systematic review was conducted by searching the PubMed and Science Direct databases with all articles using English, randomized controlled trials and articles published in 2020-2024. The keywords used were "Virtual Reality", "VR", "Neurorehabilitation", "Rehabilitation", "Motor Function", "Stroke", "Recovery". 

     Results: 

    A total of 870 studies were initially identified, 10 of those studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Total of 348 participants (178 VR groups and 170 control groups) were included in this systematic review and the results showed from most of the studies show a significant increase in the VR group in patient motor skills based on FMA UE, ARAT, AROM, Grip Strength Test, DASH, JTT, WMFT and 9HPT assessments. 

     Conclusion: 

    This systematic review shows that the use of VR for motor rehabilitation of post stroke patients has better outcomes compared to patients who only receive conventional therapy. Keywords: Stroke, Virtual Reality, Motoric Function, Upper Limb, Rehabilitation
