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.

Speech pathologists' practice in post stroke aphasia rehabilitation: Gaps in training and competency in counseling.

If you are focused on counseling rather than coming up with interventions for 100% recovery then you are doing it all wrong. Solve the primary problem, not the secondary problem. Do you not understand cause and effect?

Speech pathologists (SPs) are trained to work with people with aphasia and are key health professionals in post stroke aphasia rehabilitation.
SPs may utilise counseling as part of their role.
SPs report to utilise a range of counseling and psychosocial approaches to manage the psychological wellbeing of people in post stroke aphasia rehabilitation but report low knowledge, confidence, skill and satisfaction in this practice. SPs attribute this to a lack of training
3
.
Counseling and low level psychosocial approaches with potential to facilitate psychological wellbeing in people impacted by post stroke aphasia were identified.
Variable definitions of counseling incorporating interpersonal ‘communication’ skills and psychosocial interventions hinder understanding and progress in this important area.
SPs receive generic counseling training with limited training to competently manage the psychological wellbeing of people impacted by stroke and aphasia.
SPs may benefit from training in brief psychological interventions to facilitate the psychological wellbeing in this client group. Availability of appropriate supervision and interdisciplinary practice with mental health professionals is recommended4.
The development and evaluation of SP training, including counseling and relevant brief psychological approaches, to facilitate psychological wellbeing of people with post stroke aphasia and their families is required.
