Trajectories of stroke recovery of impairment, function, and quality of life in response to 12-month mobility and fitness intervention

So still a complete failure, no mention of 100% recovery.  And we will never get to 100% recovery consistently until we save billions of neurons from dying by stopping the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week.

All as a result of NO LEADERSHIP AND NO STRATEGY IN STROKE. This is why we need survivors in charge, your children and grandchildren can't wait for that incompetence to continue forever.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Gait deficits and functional disability are persistent problems for many stroke survivors, even after standard neurorehabilitation. There is little quantified information regarding the trajectories of response to a long-dose, 12-month intervention.

OBJECTIVE: We quantified treatment response to an intensive neurorehabilitation mobility and fitness program.

METHODS: The 12-month neurorehabilitation program targeted impairments in balance, limb coordination, gait coordination, and functional mobility, for five chronic stroke survivors. We obtained measures of those variables every two months.

RESULTS: We found statistically and clinically significant group improvement(NOT recovery) in measures of impairment and function. There was high variation across individuals in terms of the timing and the gains exhibited.

CONCLUSIONS: Long-duration neurorehabilitation (12 months) for mobility/fitness produced clinically and/or statistically significant gains in impairment and function. There was unique pattern of change for each individual. Gains exhibited late in the treatment support a 12-month intervention. Some measures for some subjects did not reach a plateau at 12 months, justifying further investigation of a longer program (>12 months) of rehabilitation and/or maintenance care for stroke survivors.
