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.

Effect of East-West Integrative Rehabilitation on Activities of Daily Living and Cognitive Functional Recovery in Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Study

Three things tell me this can't be trusted.

1. Integrative - Meaning that it is not scientifically proven.

“Integrative medicine”: A brand, not a specialty

2. Nothing suggests that the two groups had the same objective damage diagnosis starting points. 

3. Acupuncture.  Energy meridians have never been proven to exist, all just placebo.

4. PEMF actually works so it doesn't fall the the integrative camp, it is real therapy.

Abstract

Objectives 
This study was conducted to verify the effectiveness of east-west integrative rehabilitation therapy on activity of daily living and cognitive functional recovery in stroke patients by comparing with integrative rehabilitation therapy group and conventional rehabilitation therapy group in a single institution. 
Methods 
The medical records of 106 stroke patients hospitalized in Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Dongguk University Bundang Oriental Hospital from January 1, 2017 to February 28, 2019 were reviewed. After screening and dividing it into conventional rehabilitation (CR) group and integrative rehabilitation (IR) group, Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI), functional independence measure (FIM), clinical dementia rating-sum of boxes (CDR-SB) were statistically analyzed. Results IR group showed significant improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.001) and there was a statistically significant difference in K-MBI and CDR-SB score changes than CR group (p<0.05). And chronic patient of IR group showed significant improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.01) and there was a statistically significant difference in CDR-SB score changes than CR group (p<0.05). In particular, the earlier the treatment initiation time, the more the improvement in function and when the treatment started within 2 years from the onset and patients took acupuncture and pulsed electromagnetic therapy, all scales significantly improved (p<0.001). 
Conclusions 
IR showed more improvement on activities of daily life and cognitive functional recovery than CR in this study.
