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.

How active are patients in setting goals during rehabilitation after stroke? A qualitative study of clinician perceptions

I bet the stroke medical professionals are subtly telling their patients not to expect 100% recovery. If so, that is medical malpractice. What the fuck is so godamned hard about setting goals? It will always be 100% recovery.

Abstract
Purpose: We investigated stroke rehabilitation clinician’s perceptions of the patient as an active partner in setting goals within stroke rehabilitation and factors that influence patient engagement.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews, subject to general inductive analysis with 20 Clinicians’ working in three UK based stroke rehabilitation teams (one in-patient ward and two community based rehabilitation teams).
Results: There were three key themes that impacted on the patients active involvement in setting goals for rehabilitation after stroke: Patient barriers to goal setting (knowledge of the patient and family, who is the patient and the stroke’s impact); How we work as a team (the role of the patient in setting goals, the effect of clinician attributes on goal setting); and How systems impact goal setting (goal-setting practice, home versus hospital, and professional/funder expectations of clinicians’).
Conclusions: Goal setting served a range of different, sometimes conflicting, functions within rehabilitation. Clinicians’ identified the integral nature of goals to engage and motivate patients and to provide direction and purpose for rehabilitation. Further, there was an identified need to consider the impact of prioritizing clinician-derived goals at the expense of patient-identified goals. Lastly the reliance on the SMART goal format requires further consideration, both in terms of the proposed benefits and whether they disempower the patient during rehabilitation.
  • Implications for rehabilitation
  • Goal setting is often promoted as a relatively simple, straightforward way to structure interactions with patients
  • Patient-related factors together with resourcing constraints are significant barriers to patient-centered goal setting, particularly during inpatient rehabilitation
  • Clinicians need to have pragmatic tools that can be integrated into practice to ensure that goal-setting practice can be maximized for patients with different intrinsic characteristics
