The Stroke Rehabilitation Paradigm

The overriding paradigm in stroke is that NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING CONCRETE ABOUT RECOVERY. But you will hear the craptastic  excuse, 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different.' You need to laugh in their faces for trying to use that 'Get Out of Jail Free' card. 

None of the following problems have any solution and your doctor will sputter if you demand solutions.  

No one is even addressing all these problems;

Here is their list of problems to solve. 'WHY THE HELL WON'T THEY WORK ON THEM? 

1. 30% get spasticity NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

2. At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Or is it 70%?

Or is it 40%?

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

3. Over half of stroke patients have attention problems.

NOTHING THAT WILL CURE IT.

4.  The incidence of constipation was 48%.

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL CURE IT.

5. No EXACT stroke protocols that address any of your muscle limitations.

6. Poststroke depression(33% chance)

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

7.  Poststroke anxiety(20% chance) NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

8. Posttraumatic stress disorder(23% chance)  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.

  9.  12% tPA efficacy for full recovery NO ONE IS WORKING ON SOMETHING BETTER.

10.  10% seizures post stroke NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

11. 21% of patients had developed cachexia NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT. 

 

12. You lost 5 cognitive years from your stroke  NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS IT.

13.  33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?

       Or is it 17-66%?

       Or is it 20% chance in this research?

NO PROTOCOLS THAT WILL ADDRESS THIS

To prove your doctor knows nothing about stroke recovery ask what the prescriptions said to the therapists. If E.T.(Evaluate and Treat) your doctor knows nothing.
