Advances and challenges in stroke rehabilitation

What is truly disgusting is one of their solutions is better cherry picking of stroke patients for clinical trials. So when you have a stroke make sure you have the correct symptoms and damage diagnosis that the researchers used. You wouldn't want to fall into a non-treatable category and get worse results than this. Our researchers should leave no survivor behind in getting to 100% recovery. THAT IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE.

 

  1. tPA full recovery? Worse than 12%?
  2. rehab full recovery? Worse than 10%?

Advances and challenges in stroke rehabilitation



Summary
Stroke remains a leading cause of adult disability and the demand for stroke rehabilitation services is growing. Substantial advances are yet to be made in stroke rehabilitation practice to meet this demand and improve patient outcomes relative to current care. Several large intervention trials targeting motor recovery report that participants' motor performance improved, but to a similar extent for both the intervention and control groups in most trials. These neutral results might reflect an absence of additional benefit from the tested interventions or the many challenges of designing and doing large stroke rehabilitation trials. Strategies for improving trial quality include new approaches to the selection of patients, control interventions, and endpoint measures. Although stroke rehabilitation research strives for better trials, interventions, and outcomes, rehabilitation practices continue to help patients regain independence after stroke.
