Deans' stroke musings: goal

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.

Healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation perceive goal setting as a dynamic ongoing process: A systematic review

I'd have everyone involved fired for incompetence in not knowing that the only goal of survivors IS 100% RECOVERY!

There is NO discussion about that!

Healthcare professionals in stroke rehabilitation perceive goal setting as a dynamic ongoing process: A systematic review

Introduction

●Goal setting is an integral component of stroke rehabilitation, defined as a collaborative process where patients and the multidisciplinary team agree on specific, time-limited targets.

●Research on patients’ perspectives suggest that goal setting is not consistently implemented in stroke rehabilitation and does not involve patients and families in a meaningful way.

●Healthcare professionals are central to goal setting, yet their perspectives have not been synthesised and critically appraised.

Design: Systematic review and qualitative synthesis Databases:PubMed · PsycINFO · MEDLINE · CINAHL (searched in May 2025) Eligibility:English-language qualitative or mixed-methods studies with qualitative data on healthcare professionals’ experiences of goal setting in stroke rehabilitation Guidelines:PRISMA & ENTREQ| Framework:SPIDER Quality:CASP appraisal Synthesis:Thematic synthesis · GRADE-CERQualconfidence assessment
