Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,405 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.

Natural History of Poststroke Apathy During Acute Rehabilitation
This is so simple to understand, survivors are apathetic because doctors give NO path or assurance that they can 100% recover. You might hear; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. That fucking statement just proves to the patient that NO one knows anything about stroke recovery. Anyone would be apathetic in that situation. Do these people not have two functioning neurons they can rub together for some intelligence?

To
better understand the natural history of poststroke apathy, the authors
tested 96 patients undergoing acute rehabilitation for stroke using the
Apathy Inventory. A total of 28% of patients had apathy. Their Apathy
Inventory scores improved a mean of 1 point by week 2 and 2 points by
week 3, with the majority of patients remaining apathetic at discharge.
Apathy severity correlated with aphasia, weakness, and impaired
cognition but did not correlate with depression. These findings suggest
that acute rehabilitation is an optimal setting for clinical trials for
poststroke apathy, because apathy is associated with poor outcomes and
shows only a small degree of spontaneous improvement.
