Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,132 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.

POWER training in chronic stroke individuals: differences between responders and nonresponders
Background:
Lower extremity muscle weakness is a primary contributor to post-stroke
dysfunction. Resistance training is an effective treatment for
hemiparetic weakness and improves walking performance. Post-stroke
subject characteristics that do or do not improve walking speed
following resistance training are unknown. Objective:
The purpose of this paper was to describe baseline characteristics, as
well as responses to training, associated with achieving a minimal
clinically important difference (MCID) in walking speed (≥0.16 m/s)
following Post-stroke Optimization of Walking Using Explosive Resistance
(POWER) training. Methods:
Seventeen participants completed 24 sessions of POWER training, which
included intensive progressive leg presses, jump training, calf raises,
sit-to-stands, step-ups, and over ground fast walking. Outcomes included
SSWS, FCWS, DGI, FMA-LE, 6-MWT, paretic knee power, non-paretic knee
power, and paretic step ratio. Results:
Specific to those who reached MCID in SSWS (e.g. “responders”),
significant improvements in SSWS, FCWS, 6-MWT, paretic knee power, and
non-paretic knee power was realized. Paretic knee power and non-paretic
knee power significantly improved in those who did not achieve MCID for
gait speed (e.g. “non-responders”). Conclusion:
The potential for POWER training to enhance general locomotor function
was confirmed. Baseline paretic knee strength/power may be an important
factor in how an individual responds to this style of training. The lack
of change within the non-responders emphasizes the contribution of
factors other than lower extremity muscle power improvement to locomotor
dysfunction.
