Deans' stroke musings: Reduction in retained activity participation is associated with depressive symptoms 3 months after mild stroke: An observational cohort study

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.

Reduction in retained activity participation is associated with depressive symptoms 3 months after mild stroke: An observational cohort study

This is so fucking easy to explain. Your doctor knows nothing and does nothing to get you 100% recovered. Depression is a direct result of your doctor's incompetency.

Abstract: Study investigated the association of depressive symptoms with retained activity participation 3 months post stroke, after adjusting for neurological stroke severity and age. One hundred stroke survivors were recruited from 5 metropolitan hospitals and evaluated at 3 months post stroke using the Activity Card Sort-Australia to measures activity participation and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale Structured Interview Guide (MADRS-SIGMA) to measure depressive symptoms. The median percentage of retained overall activity participation was 97 percent. Using multiple median regression, a 1-point increase in the MADRS-SIGMA was associated with a median decrease of 0.7 percent of retained overall activity participation, assuming similar neurological stroke severity and age. The findings establish the association of depressive symptoms with retained activity participation 3 months post stroke in survivors with mild neurological stroke severity. Clinical rehabilitation recommendations to enhance activity participation need to account for those with even mild post-stroke depressive symptoms.
