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.

Rehab Center opens stroke-victim program Piqua, OH

This threw me for a while since I couldn't find any Piqua in Australia.

PIQUA — The Rehabilitation Center for Neurological Development, 1306 Garbry Road, Piqua, has announced a new, free program, the Older Adult Intensive Rehab Program, for people with brain injuries.


Participation in the program will help people to maintain or regain a level of independence. The program serves adults who are 55 or older, have been diagnosed with a brain injury, have no insurance or have exhausted their insurance benefits for rehabilitation services and need to continue rehab activity. Clients enrolled in the project will engage in the services three days per week for an eight-week period. These services may include neurodevelopmental exercises, vestibular exercises, perceptual and language training and aquatic therapy. By the completion of the program, each client should gain improvement in one or more areas, including upper and lower body strength, balance, coordination, focus, concentration and overall neurological organization.


“This is a unique opportunity for individuals with a brain injury to participate in an effective rehabilitation program regardless of insurance limitations, no insurance or limited income,” said Carla Bertke, executive director. The program is supported through grants from the Stouder Memorial Foundation, CareSource Foundation, the Ohio State Eagles and others.
