Good to know that your doctor has absolutely nothing to do with your recovery. So if you don't get 100% recovered you can only blame yourself. See how this works in your doctors and hospital favor. They do nothing but still get paid.
Intense rehabilitation therapy produces very large gains in chronic stroke
A Call to Arm Rehabilitation to End Neuro-Nihilism
Stroke
is among the top three causes of disability in our species. Motor
deficits are the most common problem after stroke and a major
contributor to this disability. Activity-based training (e.g., physical
therapy or occupational therapy) can improve behavioural outcomes, with
meta-analysis suggesting that higher doses of activity-based therapy
targeting the motor system improve behavioural outcomes after stroke.1
However, many patients do not receive high doses of rehabilitation
therapy after stroke, for reasons that include economic factors, access,
and a paucity of data to guide decision-making regarding therapy
intensity.
In this context, Ward et al2
examined whether providing patients with a very large dose of
rehabilitation therapy produces enduring gains in motor function, with
critically important results. These authors …
