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.

Neuroscience of Sports: Concussions

A blog posting from the Dana Foundation, read it all.

This paragraph needs to be brought to your doctors attention, do not leave the office until your Alzheimers risk is reduced to 0% from the stroke.  Replace the word concussion with stroke/TBI.
I'm sure your doctor doesn't know about  your 33% chance of developing Dementia/Alzheimers after a stroke.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is going to develop Alzheimer’s among the concussion(stroke) population? The APOE gene may hold the answer. Depending on which variant of the gene you have, you may be more or less at risk for long-term brain degeneration. In the future, perhaps people with a particular (higher risk) variant would be advised not to play contact sports.
