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.

Background: A stroke leads to dysfunction in activities of daily living. Therefore, stroke patients urgently need rehabilitation to enhance self-care abilities. Motivational interviewing (MI) emphasizes on patient-centered interactions in which the nursing staff can help stroke patients enhance their rehabilitation motivation and encourage them to achieve behavioral changes so as to achieve their health goals. Objectives: This study aims to explore whether motivational interviewing can improve the performance of activities of daily living of first-stroke patients and its effectiveness on the enhancement of the patients’ motivation for rehabilitation.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was utilized in this study. Cluster assignment was used to recruit patients (n=65) diagnosed with stroke in the rehabilitation ward of a regional hospital in Central Taiwan as the research subjects. Before the intervention, all the subjects received routine care. On top of routine care, the experimental group (n = 33) received weekly sessions of MI for six weeks, while the control group (n=32) received individual company from the research nurse once a week for six weeks. Activities of daily living (ADLs), Instrument activities of daily living (IADLs) and rehabilitation motivation were used for the measurement of the effectiveness of the MI intervention. SPSS 22.0 for Windows was used for statistical analysis of the research data.
Results: Significant changes were found in the scores of ADLs, IADLs and the rehabilitation motivation in the experimental and control groups in both the post-tests taken immediately after and three months after the MI intervention. It was showed from the generalized estimating equation that the scores of rehabilitation motivation of the experimental group in the post-tests six weeks after and three months after the intervention was 3.10 and 2.54 points more than those of the control group, reaching significant difference statistically (p< 0.05).
Conclusion: The study confirmed the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on the improvement in the rehabilitation motivation for stroke patients. Therefore, the MI skills can be applied in clinical practice in the future.
