Deans' stroke musings: Call for more investment in vital rehabilitation for 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.

Call for more investment in vital rehabilitation for stroke survivors

This is just calling for more of the failed status quo. STATUS QUO OF ONLY 10% FULL RECOVERY IS MASSIVE FAILURE! Ask for the correct solution: 100% recovery protocols! Your stroke medical 'professionals' will pooh pooh it and say it can't be done! BOLLOCKS, have them contact me for remedial education(OC1Dean@gmail.com)

You don't need any medical training to see that stroke rehab is a complete shitshow!

And in the end they only talk of providing 'care' NOT RECOVERY! I'd fire anyone settling for 'care' and you should too! A lot of dead wood needs to be removed in stroke; start with your 'professionals' if they have nothing for 100% recovery!

ITV Meridian's Richard Slee reports from Highcliffe in Dorset

A man from Dorset who suffered a stroke is backing calls for more investment in vital rehabilitation after a new survey reveals that most regions are seriously underfunded and understaffed.

David Stadelman, 73, who lives in Highcliffe near Bournemouth, had a stroke two years ago.

He credits the excellent care(NOT RECOVERY!) he received and ongoing therapy for his good recovery, but he wants every patient to have that same benefit.

"The rehabilitation that I received started very quickly after I had the stroke," David said.

"People called physiotherapists came along with the view of getting me home.

"Gradually I realised that there was a future to be had."

David is now fit enough to drive himself to a local heart health group.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy claims that community stroke services have on average 26% fewer physiotherapists than recommended, and Acute Stroke teams are down by 15% which is leaving some people with avoidable disabilities.The government says it accepts it is failing many patients, but is committed to reducing the number of people who die from heart disease and strokes by a quarter over the next ten years.

In a statement a spokesperson said: 'We're rolling out specialist stroke rehabilitation in people's homes, so more people can get the right care(NOT RECOVERY!) without having to rely on hospital stays."
