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.

Wearable sensors improve prediction of post- stroke walking function following inpatient rehabilitation

You somehow think predicting failure to 100% recover walking ability is useful and comforting to your survivor? Will you stop with prediction research and just do research that provides recovery?

Wearable sensors improve prediction of post-stroke walking function following inpatient rehabilitation 

JTEHM-00086-2022 1

Abstract:  

Objective: A primary goal of acute stroke rehabilitation is to maximize functional recovery and help patients
reintegrate safely in the home and community.(And this research does nothing for that) However, not all patients have the same potential for recovery, making it difficult
to set realistic therapy goals(Yeah, using the tyranny of low expectations so you never have to explain why you can't get them 100% recovered) and to anticipate future needs for short- or long-term care. The objective of this study was to test the
value of high-resolution data from wireless, wearable motion sensors to predict post-stroke ambulation function following inpatient stroke rehabilitation.  
Method:  
Supervised machine learning algorithms were trained to classify patients as either
household or community ambulators at discharge based on information collected upon admission to the inpatient facility (N=33-35). Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor data recorded from the ankles and the pelvis during a brief walking bout at admission (10 meters, or 60 seconds walking) improved the prediction of discharge ambulation ability over a traditional prediction model based on patient demographics, clinical information, and performance on standardized clinical assessments.
Results:  
Models incorporating IMU data were more sensitive to patients who changed ambulation category, improving the recall of community ambulators at discharge from 85% to 89-93%. Conclusions: This approach demonstrates significant potential for the early prediction of post-rehabilitation walking outcomes in patients with stroke using small amounts of data from three wearable motion sensors. 
 Clinical Impact:  
Accurately predicting a patient’s functional recovery early in the rehabilitation process
would transform our ability to design personalized care strategies in the clinic and beyond. This work contributes to the development of low-cost, clinically-implementable prognostic tools for data-driven stroke treatment
