Deans' stroke musings: Electromyographic analyses of trunk musculature after stroke: An integrative review

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.

So NOTHING WAS DONE to get survivors recovered? Useless.

Abstract:

Study evaluated and summarized evidence about trunk muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity after stroke during activities of daily living (ADL) and with diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Medline Complete, CINAHL and Health Sources: Nursing Academic Edition databases were searched for studies written in English, published after 1989, that included these search terms: stroke, muscle activity, and trunk including abdominal or back muscles. Systematic reviews, single case studies, dissertations, or letters to the editor were excluded. The electronic search yielded 188 articles and a hand search found three. Title and abstract screening yielded 102 articles for full-text screening. Ultimately, 45 articles were included and classified as ADL, therapeutic interventions, or device categories. Information extracted related to stroke severity, time since onset, specific muscles and EMG analysis technique, and study limitations. Articles were classified as observational, intervention, or device related. Trunk muscle recruitment during function and movement demonstrated significant differences in trunk EMG recruitment timing, magnitude, and symmetry after stroke when compared with healthy participants. Individuals with stroke demonstrated significant differences when comparing paretic to non-paretic side trunk EMG measures. Intervention studies showed some effect on improving trunk muscle activation, but they had small sample sizes and methodological issues. Findings indicate that trunk muscle activation after stroke can be monitored with EMG during rehabilitation programs which challenge functional recovery.
