Deans' stroke musings: Effectiveness Of Arm Ability Training With Biofeedback Techniques To Improve Neuroplasticity, Dexterity And Quality Of Life Among Subacute Stroke Survivors

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.

Effectiveness Of Arm Ability Training With Biofeedback Techniques To Improve Neuroplasticity, Dexterity And Quality Of Life Among Subacute Stroke Survivors

For those like me with dead brain this wouldn't help at all. Where are my EXACT DEAD BRAIN REHAB PROTOCOLS?

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: One of the main causes of physical disability is stroke, and 80% of stroke survivors suffer upper extremity dysfunction characterized by reduced muscle strength and functional limitation in muscle control and life quality. Arm ability training with biofeedback techniques is reported to enhance the functional recovery of the upper limb by improving the dexterity of the upper limb and life quality.

METHODS: An experimental study to find out the effects of Arm Ability Training with Biofeedback techniques on upper limb dexterity, functional ability, and quality of life in sub-acute stroke survivors. Sixty participants were chosen and randomly allocated to two groups. Group A received Arm ability training with biofeedback techniques, and Group B received conventional therapy for 60 minutes, 5 days/week for 3-4 weeks. The outcome measures were Modified standardized nine-hole peg test (mS-NHPT), Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity, 12-item stroke-specific quality of life scale, and Wolf Motor Function Test.

RESULTS: The mean completion time for the m-S NHPT decreased (from 113.78 ± 3.14 to 88.36 ± 2.49), and the FMA-UL increased (from 79.08 ± 2.54 to 90.52 ± 2.92). SS-QOL-12 (19.76 ± 0.99 to 40.12 ± 1.24), WMFT (Functional Ability) (from 46.76 ± 1.47 to 56.92 ± 2.03), and the time score improved (from 478.64 ± 2.9 to 435.16 ± 2.22). The variables indicates a statistical significance (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: The above result statistically shows significant improvements in dexterity, functional ability, and life quality of sub-acute stroke subjects.
