Deans' stroke musings: Mental Practice, Occupational Therapy,and Rehabilitation in Stroke

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.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of training in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), mentally performed, as a complement to traditional occupational therapeutic intervention in rehabilitation. To this end, in a Federal Institution of Higher Education, stroke survivors were grouped into a control group (CG) and a mental practice group (MPG), administering of the Mini Mental State Examination (Mini Mental), and a test based on the Revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire - Revised for Stroke (MIQ-RS). Assessment and recording performed included Muscle Strength Scale - Medical Research Council (MRC); Esthesiometer; and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Treatment consisted of 20 sessions of one-hour duration (50 minutes based on ADLs and 10 minutes of mental practice [MP] or relaxation). Physical tests demonstrated the recovery of Occupational Performance Components tested in the MPG. The FIM certified the functional recovery and pointed out the speed on MPG rehabilitation. These results indicate that MP, combined with the traditional ADL rehabilitation program, promotes physical-functional gains.
