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.

Minnesota Department of Health Stroke Rehab Program with the American Heart Association

YOU need to DEMAND those standards deliver 100% recovery protocols, not just follow processes and deliver 'care'!

 The American Heart Association is working on a stroke rehab initiative in Minnesota and is currently recruiting Skilled Nursing Facilities, Critical Access Hospitals, and Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities to participate.

Sites will receive $10,000 and quality improvement support to build/enhance their stroke rehab programs by following published post-acute stroke program standards.

Below is a short video that gives a brief overview of the program, requirements, and benefits. The video is about 10 minutes and can be watched here: Minnesota Stroke Initiative Recording

If this is something your team is interested in, please email sarah.donnelly@heart.org to meet and discuss.
