Deans' stroke musings: Hip muscle pain

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.

Hip muscle pain

My walking is causing my left rear hip muscle to ache. I'm sure it's because my walking is so bad. I should be able to go to any physical therapist in the world and get an OBJECTIVE diagnosis of what is wrong and then EXACT protocols to fix the problem. But I'm not even going to try that way because I'm sure it won't tell me anything useful. So I'll be looking up the gluteus medius and see what I can find.

And lo and behold:

How do you rehab a strained gluteus medius?

Step 1: Lie flat on your back, with your knees bent and your feet flat and hip-width apart.

Step 2: Gently tighten abdominal and gluteus muscles to raise the pelvis off the ground.

Step 3: Hold the position for several seconds, then slowly release back towards the ground. Repeat eight to ten times once a day.

Strengthening Exercises for the Gluteus Medius:

Standing Squats (Perform this exercise with a versa loop band resistance) ...
Monster Walks (Perform this exercise while using a versa loop band) ...
Side lying clam shells (This can be done as bodyweight clams or with using a versa loop band)
