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.

Qualities of a French version of the Wolf Motor Function Test: A multicenter study

 Why research this since Wolf Motor DOES NOTHING to get survivors recovered!

You can see for yourself that nothing in this Wolf Motor Test actually gets you recovered.  To me this type of testing is useless except you'll have to consent since it probably is needed to get insurance to pay. To me it would be much more useful to spend my time doing protocol repetitions leading to recovery than this shit.

Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT)

Abstract

Introduction

There are currently a small number of standardized tools in French that measure and compare the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy, or other recent therapies promoting motor recovery

Objective

To create a French version of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and assess its reliability, minimal detectable change, and criterion validity.

Method

Prospective multicenter repeated-measure design with 44 patients with post stroke hemiparesis. A French Version of the WMFT was created; it was then assessed against the Fugl Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (French version) to establish its reliability, the minimal detectable change and its validity.

Results

Inter-rater reliability was very good. Reproducibility of the scores was good. Cronbach α coefficients showed adequate internal consistency. The minimal detectable change (MDC95%) for functional ability scores was below 10% of the highest possible score; MDC Tea95% for performance time was very high at more than 90 seconds. Criterion validity was good.

Conclusion

The French version of the WMFT is reliable and valid. The test shows promise for use as an objective outcome measure for people post stroke in French speaking countries.(But still useless in getting survivors recovered! The only goal in stroke! This does nothing direct towards survivor recovery.)
