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.

Inertial characteristics of upper extremity motions in upper extremity stroke rehabilitation based tasks

Ask your doctor what the hell this means to updating your stroke protocols. If your doctor doesn't have any protocols s/he needs to be fired.

Activity counting has demonstrated strong correlations to recovery before and after stroke rehabilitation. However, there are only moderate to poor correlations with movement specific features (such as timing and repetition) that are significant to stroke rehabilitation, allowing room for improvement. This paper explores the physical meaning of an accelerometric based activity count, by using a precise tri-axial accelerometer and tri-axial gyroscope during tasks based on selected activities of daily living (ADLs). The impact of processing algorithms and sensor choice were also considered. Nine healthy participants performed a series of free-world upper extremity movement tasks modelled after ADLs as well as tasks constrained by speed and direction. Raw gyroscope and accelerometer data were linearly regressed with medically graded actigraphy bands for comparison. The results demonstrated that wrist motion during upper extremity tasks had similar distributions of data across all planes and axes of motion. The results also highlighted that processing algorithms based on mean and median epoched data were more sensitive (p < 0.05) to differences in planes and axes of motion, but that variance based methods presented lower root-mean-square-errors (RMSE) errors when linearly regressed with medically graded technology. The findings from this study help to better understand inertial patterns of upper extremity rehabilitation based tasks and physical interpretations of activity count me asures.
