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.

Validity study of a triaxial accelerometer for measuring energy expenditure in stroke inpatients of a physical medicine and rehabilitation center

Just what the hell good does measuring energy expenditure do for stroke patients?  Unless you do followup research that provides protocols that gets them back to normal walking? My walking 16 years later still is awful and consumes way more energy than it should.

ABSTRACT

Purpose

Establish the validity of a triaxial accelerometer (Dynaport®) for evaluating the energy expenditure of patients with stroke sequelae at a rehabilitation hospital

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study with 24 stroke inpatients of a rehabilitation hospital. The participants were assessed on energy expenditure by an ergospirometer system and the triaxial accelerometer simultaneously during a walk test. The data collected by both devices were compared by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman limits of agreement

Results

An almost perfect agreement (ICC = 0,94) in the energy expenditure measured by the accelerometer compared to the results of the ergospirometer system was found during the exercise test. The Bland-Altman analysis has shown suitable limits of agreement. Post hoc analyses with the maximum volume of oxygen and the total energy expenditure measured by the ergospirometer system evidenced significant correlation with the energy expenditure measurements by the accelerometer

Conclusion

Our results evidence that the triaxial accelerometer Dynaport® and its built-in software are valid for estimating the energy expenditure of stroke sequelae during a walk exercise.(So what?)
