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.

PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF A MOBILE APP FOR EVERYDAY STROKE REHABILITATION

Once again working on the edges of useful stroke research, the rehabilitation silo only works fully 10% of the time. In other words a complete failure.

ABSTRACT
A smartphone-based    rehabilitation    approach called ARMStrokes was developed that provides real-time  support  for  stroke survivors to  complete rehabilitation exercises  for
upper  extremity  recovery.  A pilot study of 10 stroke survivors was conducted to
examine  the  usability  and usefulness of  the application.  In  addition,  a  web-based  collaborative communication  system  was  evaluated for usability and  efficiency  by    therapists,  physicians,  and caregivers  monitoring  client  adherence  to  prescribed
home exercise  programs.  Post-test   quantitative improvements  were  noted  and  feedback  from focus groups involving stroke survivors, caregivers, and therapists  have  been  positive.  The  findings  assisted with  modifications  to  the  app  and the collaborative system.
