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.

Effect of a passive hip exoskeleton on walking distance in neurological patients.

But is this better than Kickstart? Why doesn't your competent? doctor know that answer?

Abstract: Study investigated the effect of a passive (operating without actuators and batteries) exoskeleton assisting hip flexion on total walking distance and rate of perceived exertion during a 5-week training study in patients affected by neurological diseases. Severe neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis and acute events like stroke, spinal cord injuries, or other related pathologies have been shown to negatively impact the central and peripheral nervous systems, thus causing severe impairments to mobility. The development and utilization of exoskeletons as rehabilitation devices have shown good potential for improving patients’ gait function. Ten older adults (mean age: 68.9 years) affected by neurological diseases impacting their gait function completed a 10-session gait training protocol where they walked for 10 minutes wearing a passive exoskeleton assisting hip flexion called Exoband. Results showed that participants walked a significantly longer distance in the last session of training compared to the first session (453.1 vs 392.4 meters, respectively). Findings suggest the potential of Exoband as an effective tool for gait rehabilitation in patients with neurological diseases. Wearable, lightweight, and low-cost devices such as the one involved in this study have the potential to improve walking distance in patients.
