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.

Perfect world of stroke rehab - running again

I know most of you don't think this is possible, but for those who want to try, you can see some successes here.  This is obviously something our therapists need to set up a protocol for.  I doubt I'll ever be able to run again until my spasticity is cured, and my left foot actually points straight ahead.

ACTUALLY Running Free! Yeah, She Did it!

Have your therapist lay out a step by step process(That's called a protocol, not a guideline!) for you to accomplish this if you want to. Challenge them to use their neurons in a new and exciting way.

I bet there is zero chance your doctor and therapists have any protocol to get you running again. But if you are willing to try this dangerous activity on your own, I'd suggest the book; 'Teaching Me to Run' by Tommye-K. Mayer. Don't do this without your doctor's prescription.
