Deans' stroke musings: Assessment of sex differences in recovery of motor and sensory impairments poststroke

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.

Assessment of sex differences in recovery of motor and sensory impairments poststroke

Darn, this is not about how much sex men vs. women need post stroke to 100% recover. So go ask your doctor for EXACTLY HOW MUCH SEX YOU SHOULD BE HAVING TO RECOVER. I'M DEADLY SERIOUS. Why the fuck doesn't your doctor know that answer?

Abstract: Study used robotic assessments of motor and sensory impairments to determine if there are sex differences at the impairment level in stroke recovery over the first 6 months post stroke. Robotic and clinical assessments of motor and sensory impairments were performed at 1, 6, 12, and 26 weeks poststroke in 108 males and 52 females. Linear mixed models were used to examine the effect of sex on poststroke recovery, controlling for age and lesion volume. In general, the study found no significant sex differences across a range of assessments. The exception to this was a sex-by-age interaction for the Purdue Pegboard Assessment, where results showed that females had better performance than males at younger ages (under 62 years), but males had better performance at older ages. While recruitment biases need to be acknowledged when generalizing these findings to stroke recovery at-large, the results suggest that sex differences do not exist at the impairment level poststroke.
