Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,120 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.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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.

New St. John Rehabilitation Hospital to open in Broken Arrow next month - Tulsa, OK
BROKEN ARROW — Officials are
celebrating the grand opening of the new St. John Rehabilitation
Hospital on Tuesday as construction of the facility nears completion.
Patients will be moved into the new $18.87 million facility on Aug. 1.
The
40-bed hospital will provide inpatient rehabilitation for patients who
have stroke, trauma, brain and orthopedic injuries and other major
illnesses or injuries.
“We help them relearn skills and regain functions to get back home,” said David Nicholas, hospital CEO.
The
rehab hospital currently is located in 23,000 square feet of space at
St. John’s main campus in Tulsa. It houses 22 beds in double-occupancy
rooms.
The new hospital, at
1200 W. Albany Drive in Broken Arrow, is 49,000 square feet and features
40 single-occupancy rooms. It is near St. John Broken Arrow at Albany
(61st) Street and Elm Place (161st East Avenue).
The
22 beds at the current facility are constantly full, and there
typically is a waiting list of 15 people awaiting admission, Nicholas
said.
“We really can’t accommodate the need that is there now,” he said.
The typical stay at the hospital is two weeks. Most patients are in their 60s and 70s.
The
new hospital will provide services to about 1,000 patients a year, and
there is enough space for two 20-bed expansions. Nichols said the first
expansion would likely begin in August of next year.
The
majority of patients using the new facility will have suffered strokes.
Those who receive in-patient rehabilitation have higher chances of
returning home instead of transitioning to a nursing home, Nicholas
said.
“Our focus is getting
patients back home and back to the activities that they used to do so
they can get back to their life,” Nicholas said.
The facility will
feature a rehab gym where patients will spend about three hours a day on
recreational and occupational therapy.
It
will also have a therapy courtyard with several different walking
surfaces and a daily living suite where patients can relearn and
practice independent living activities such as getting out of bed,
cooking and doing laundry.
“Our approach is for them to practice doing things they will be doing in their normal life,” Nicholas said.
The new facility, which is the first local affiliate with HealthSouth, will employ 200 people, including 90 in new positions.
The
current in-patient rehabilitation space at St. John Medical Center in
Tulsa will become a nursing floor once the rehab patients are moved out,
said Kelly Green, St. John spokeswoman.
