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.

A unified scheme for the benchmarking of upper limb functions in neurological disorders.

This should have been done decades ago, because with NO OBJECTIVE DAMAGE DIAGNOSIS, you'll never get to mapping rehab protocols to such damage. And yet this is still done wrong because they are not quantifying the dead and damaged neurons in the brain to the deficits presented.

 A unified scheme for the benchmarking of upper limb functions in neurological disorders.

Abstract: Study developed a benchmarking framework for evaluating upper-limb capabilities in clinical and research settings. The scheme was designed to enable an instrumented evaluation of arm capacity and to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitative interventions with high reproducibility and resolution. It includes four elements: (1) a taxonomy for motor skills and abilities, (2) a list of performance indicators, (3) a list of required sensor modalities, and (4) a set of reproducible experimental protocols. Six motor primitives were proposed as building blocks of most upper-limb daily-life activities and combined them into a set of functional motor skills. The main aspects to be considered during clinical evaluation were identified and grouped them into ten motor abilities categories. For each ability, a set of performance indicators were proposed to quantify the proposed ability on a quantitative and high-resolution scale. Finally, the procedures to be followed to perform the benchmarking assessment in a reproducible and reliable way were defined, including the definition of the kinematic models and the target muscles. This work represents the first unified scheme for the benchmarking of upper-limb capacity. To reach a consensus, this scheme should be validated with real experiments across clinical conditions and motor skills.
