Deans' stroke musings: Physical Therapy in the treatment of trunk control and balance of patients 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.

Physical Therapy in the treatment of trunk control and balance of patients after stroke

You'll have to ask your doctor to get the protocol for this since we have NO public database of stroke research and protocols.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of static balance alteration, dynamics, and impairment of the trunk after stroke in patients divided into two groups: one that performed a specific physiotherapy protocol and another that continued the physiotherapy care routine without following the intervention group protocol. This was a quantitative, exploratory, interventional, experimental, and descriptive study. Six patients were evaluated with the Scale of Disabilities of the Trunk (SDT) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and subsequently divided into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). The patients who were in the IG had increased scores in both scales on the final assessment; however, it being a small sample, the results were not statistically significant. Results indicate that a specific protocol to work with trunk control and balance is extremely important for patients after stroke, because it facilitates the performance of daily activities and promotes improvement in gait, thus diminishing the risk of falls.
