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.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM (MDT) APPROACH IN STROKE REHABILITATION

Fucking useless, 'care' NOT results. Damn it all, survivors want results you blithering idiots not the lazy 'care' you want to provide.

A multidisciplinary team (MDT) is composed of members from different healthcare professions with specialized skills and expertise. The members collaborate together to make treatment recommendations that facilitate quality patient care. Multidisciplinary teams form one aspect of the provision of a streamlined patient journey by developing individual treatment plans that are based on 'best practice.(1) A recent systematic review examined a wide range of evidence for stroke rehabilitation, determining interventions that were or were likely to be serviceable, those of uncertain benefit and those where the effect was presently unknown.(2)The review drew attention to three areas where strong evidence existed.(3,4)Firstly, that rehabilitation should begin as early as possible after stroke. Secondly, that repetitive task-oriented training targeted at goals or activities admissible to the needs of patients can contribute to functional recovery, especially where training takes place in the patient’s own environment. Lastly, there was widespread consensus that increased ferocity of training is beneficial.(5) Reported benefits of effective multidisciplinary team working include more patient-centered decision making, a reduction in the disintegration of care and increased staff gratification, as well as more efficient and effective use of resources.(6) However, policies, guidelines and research evidence do not themselves bring about change in health professionals’ behavior; there has to be a commonly understood purpose and perceived or actual benefit at the individual and organizational level.(7) There is undeniable evidence of improved outcomes when patients are treated in a stroke unit by multi - disciplinary teams. When compared with traditional care, organized inpatient stroke care resulted in long-term reductions in death, outpost and the need for institutional care.(8)
