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.

Psychometric comparisons of three depression measures for patients with stroke

You do realize that the actual goal is to prevent depression? And the way to do that is EXACT 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS. Your patient will be too busy counting reps and looking forward to recovery to get depressed.  We've known for years that survivors get depressed and you blithering idiots are doing nothing to prevent depression.

Solve the primary problem of 100% recovery and you don't have to work on the secondary problem of depression.

Abstract: Study compared the reliability and validity of three depression measures in a sample of patients with stroke: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES–D), Beck Depression Inventory–II (BDI–II), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Fifty-nine outpatients in southern Taiwan completed the three depression measures. Cronbach’s alpha (α) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to examine the internal consistency and test–retest reliability, respectively, of the three measures. An independent-samples t test was conducted to compare two groups of patients with different levels of disability to investigate discriminative validity. Pearson correlations were calculated among the three measures to examine concurrent validity. The three measures had good internal consistency (α = .85–.92) and sufficient test–retest reliability (ICC = .84–.91). The minimal detectable change (percentage of minimal detectable change) was 10.6 (63.3 percent), 13.5 (98.3 percent), and 5.8 (49.9 percent) for the CES–D, BDI–II, and GDS, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in CES–D score (and no significant differences on the other two measures. The correlations among the three measures ranged from .79 to .89. All three depression measures had sound internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and concurrent validity in patients with stroke. Of the three measures, the CES–D had better discriminative validity, and the GDS demonstrated greater reliability and smaller random measurement error in patients with stroke.
