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.

Attributes of evidence-based occupational therapists in stroke rehabilitation

My god, use the words, stroke protocol, that is precisely what needs to be done. Start writing them.  Quit beating on about evidence based, protocols don't require each therapist to figure out what to do. You have an objective damage diagnosis that leads directly to a stroke protocol with exact instructions on what needs to be done along with an efficacy rating for that protocol. What am I missing that this is not being done?

Abstract

Background.

A better understanding of the features characterizing expert evidence-based occupational therapists in stroke rehabilitation is needed to inform the design of educational and knowledge translation interventions aimed at addressing research–practice gaps.

Purpose.

The study aimed to identify the attributes of evidence-based occupational therapy stroke rehabilitation experts from the perspective of their peers.

Method.

Forty-six occupational therapy clinicians and managers completed an online questionnaire asking them to nominate “outstanding” and “expert evidence-based” occupational therapists in stroke rehabilitation and to explain their choices. A thematic analysis of respondents’ statements was conducted.

Findings.

Both outstanding and expert evidence-based occupational therapists were perceived to be motivated self-learners; to have extensive knowledge, skills, and experience; to act as scholarly practitioners; to achieve superior client outcomes; and to work in specialized settings.

Implications.

The development of future strategies supporting occupational therapy students and clinicians to become lifelong learners should take into account key attributes of expertise, such as motivation for continuous learning and professional development.
