Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery from the AHA/ASA

73 pages of pretty much worthless shit because they are guidelines NOT protocols. Someone still has to interpret how to translate these into amounts and timings. Damned lazy assholes. But the backpatting was great for themselves, not so much for stroke survivors.

Look at all these 12 Ph.Ds represented, smarts does not necessarily translate to knowledge.
 
Endorsed by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the
American Society of Neurorehabilitation
The American Academy of Neurology affirms the value of this guideline as an educational tool for
neurologists and the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine also affirms the educational value
of these guidelines for its members
