Long-term rehabilitation management of stroke: A review of the evidence

When the hell are stroke doctors going to realize that you have to intervene much earlier in the process to get decent recovery prospects. Like stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Less dead neurons would lead to a much better chance of recovery.
It's an incredibly simple cause and effect.

Abstract: Articles in this journal issue review the evidence on the effectiveness of treatments provided 6 months or more following the onset of stroke. Topics include: long-term rehabilitation management of stroke patients; cardiovascular conditioning for comfortable gait speed and total distance walked; resistance training for gait speed and total distance walked; systematic review of the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions in the treatment of spasticity of the hemiparetic lower extremity; functional electrical stimulation for improving gait; systematic review and meta-analysis of constraint-induced movement therapy in the hemiparetic upper extremity; evidence for therapeutic interventions for hemiplegic shoulder pain; therapeutic interventions for aphasia initiated more than six months post stroke; and effectiveness of psychological interventions in chronic stage of stroke. In addition, two feature article examine the: (1) relation between the upper extremity synergistic movement components and its implication for motor recovery in poststroke hemiparesis and (2) compelled body weight shift approach in rehabilitation of individuals with chronic stroke. Individual articles may be available for document delivery under accession numbers J65516 through J65526.
