Deans' stroke musings: Effect of Taping with or without FES and vibration in dorsiflexion and weight bearing after stroke

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.

Effect of Taping with or without FES and vibration in dorsiflexion and weight bearing after stroke

No clue what functional bandaging is.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of functional bandaging (FB) with or without functional electrical stimulation (FES) and vibration therapy (VT) in dorsiflexion and weight bearing in post-stroke patients. The study was conducted with 7 chronic post-stroke individuals of both sexes, aged between 40 and 70 years, with spastic pattern equinus-varus ankle. Three protocols were followed: application of FB in the tibialis anterior muscle; Association of FB and FES; and FB associated with VT. The interventions were performed twice a week, one month in each protocol, with an interval of two weeks between them. Individuals were assessed and reassessed with baro-podometry and electromyography of the tibialis anterior muscle. Data that were not normal were submitted to Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Those that were normal were analyzed with t test and One-way ANOVA. Values of p≤0.05 were considered significant. There was no difference in RMSn values and baro-podometry intra and inter groups. There was an increased signal amplitude EMGn (Pmaxn) and reduced median frequency for FB protocol (p=0.03); no difference was found in the others. FB applied alone was able to increase muscle activity. However, when combined with other therapies, their effects were not evidenced.
