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.

Effects of rehabilitation programs on heart rate variability after stroke: a systematic review

For your edification:

What is Heart Rate Variability (HRV) & why does it matter?

ABSTRACT

Background: 
It has been shown that the autonomic nervous system can be modulated by physical exercise after stroke, but there is a lack of evidence showing rehabilitation can be effective in increasing heart rate variability (HRV). 
Objective: 
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of rehabilitation programs in modulating HRV after stroke. Methods: 
The search strategy was based in the PICOT (patients: stroke; interventions: rehabilitation; comparisons: any control group; outcomes: HRV; time: acute, subacute and chronic phases of stroke). We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, LILACS, and SCIELO databases without language restrictions, and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-randomized controlled trials (quasi-RCTs), and non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs). Two authors independently assessed the risk of bias and we used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology to rate the certainty of the evidence for each included study. Results: Four studies (two RCTs with low certainty of the evidence and two non-RCTs with very low certainty of the evidence) were included. Three of them showed significant cardiac autonomic modulation during and after stroke rehabilitation: LF/HF ratio (low frequency/high frequency) is higher during early mobilization; better cardiac autonomic
balance was observed after body-mind interaction in stroke patients; and resting SDNN (standard deviation of normal R–R intervals) was significantly lower among stroke patients indicating less adaptive cardiac autonomic control during different activities. 
Conclusions: 
There are no definitive conclusions about the main cardiac autonomic repercussions observed in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation, although all interventions are safe for patients after stroke.

RESUMO
Antecedentes: O sistema nervoso autônomo pode ser modulado pelo exercício físico após o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC), mas faltam
evidências que demonstrem que a reabilitação pode ser eficaz no aumento da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC). Objetivo:
Investigar a eficácia e segurança dos programas de reabilitação na modulação da VFC após o AVC. Métodos: A estratégia de busca foi
baseada na estratégia PICOT (pacientes: AVC; intervenções: reabilitação; comparações: qualquer grupo de controle; desfechos: VFC;
tempo: fase aguda, subaguda e crônica). Foi realizada busca nas bases MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, LILACS e SCIELO sem restrições de
idioma, sendo incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs), ensaios clínicos quasi-randomizados (quasi-ECRs) e ensaios clínicos nãorandomizados (não-ECRs). Dois autores avaliaram independentemente o risco de viés e a metodologia GRADE para classificar a certeza
das evidências para cada estudo incluído. Resultados: Quatro estudos (dois ECRs com baixa certeza de evidência e dois não-ECRs com
muito baixa certeza de evidência) foram incluídos. Três deles apresentaram modulação autonômica cardíaca durante e após a reabilitação:
a razão LF/HF (low frequency/high frequency) foi maior durante a mobilização precoce; maior equilíbrio autonômico foi observado após
prática de interação corpo-mente após AVC; e SDNN (desvio padrão dos intervalos R–R normais) foi significativamente menor em pacientes
