Deans' stroke musings: Rehabilitation of functionality and gait in hemiparetic using Kabat method

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.

Abstract: The purpose of this study as to compare the effects of the Kabat method with functional electrical stimulation (FES) and the association of the methods on the functional capacity of hemiparetic patients. This was a case series with three hemiparetic patients. The participants were evaluated at the beginning and end of treatment for range of motion of the ankle, gait constituents, and functionality. Patients were randomly assigned to: (patient A) treatment with Kabat, (patient B) treatment with FES and Kabat, and (patient C) treatment with FES. All participants did gait training for a total of 25 sessions of 50 minutes each. There was an improvement in the range of motion of dorsiflexion of patients A and B, improvement in the functionality in patients B and C, step increase in patients B and C, increased size based on all patients, and improvement in the speed and cadence in patients A and C. Patient B was the participant who tested positive for all variables, indicating that the association of Kabat and the FES methods may be more efficient for patients with stroke sequelae.
