Deans' stroke musings: Progressive intervention strategy for the gait of sub-acute stroke patient using the international classification of functioning, disability, and health tool

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.

Progressive intervention strategy for the gait of sub-acute stroke patient using the international classification of functioning, disability, and health tool

You can see the ICF model here. Totally subjective. Just when the hell will stroke patients have objective damage diagnosis? Until then you can't map interventions to damage and actually create stroke protocols because you don't have a defined starting point to assign protocols.

Abstract: Study identified the processes through which stroke patients are assessed and treated using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model. The patient was a 65-year-old female diagnosed with right cerebral artery infarction with left hemiparesis. Progressive interventions were applied, such as those aiming at sitting and standing for the first two weeks, gait intervention for the third and fourth weeks, and those aiming at sitting from a standing position for the fifth and sixth weeks. The ICF model provides rehabilitation experts with a framework that enables them to accurately identify and understand their patients’ problems. The ICF model helps the experts understand not only their patients’ body structure, function, activity, and participation, but also their problems related to personal and environmental factors. The experts could efficiently make decisions and provide optimum treatment at clinics using the ICF.
