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.

The functional assessment for control of trunk (FACT): An assessment tool for trunk function in stroke patients

Assessments are worthless. Survivors want EXACT STROKE PROTOCOLS DELIVERING 100% RECOVERY!

Abstract: 

 Study validated the predictive ability of the Functional Assessment for Control of Trunk (FACT) for functional outcome following stroke and created an English version of the FACT. The FACT was developed in Japan to evaluate trunk function after stroke. However, only a few studies used the FACT to show functional status in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). This retrospective, observational study was conducted in Japan with 105 patients aged 65 years and older with stroke. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median FACT score at admission: trunk impairment or high trunk function. ADLs were assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) as an outcome variable. Multiple regression analysis was performed for FIM gain and FIM efficiency to examine the relationship between trunk function assessed by the FACT at admission and functional prognosis. Forty-eight (45.7 percent) and 57 (54.3 percent) patients were categorized to the trunk impairment group and high trunk function group, respectively. FACT score at admission was associated with FIM gain and FIM efficiency after adjusting for confounders. Results suggest that trunk impairment at admission, as assessed by FACT, can predict functional prognosis. An English-Japanese editing company forward-translated the original Japanese FACT to develop the English version, which further demonstrated the validity of the FACT.
