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.

Feasibility and psychophysical effects of immersive virtual reality-based mirror therapy.

Being comparable would mean that regular stroke survivors will just choose the cheaper and simpler method to rehab.

Abstract: Study evaluated the feasibility of an immersive virtual-reality rehabilitation system that allows stroke survivors to carry out a validated mirror therapy protocol in a clinical setting. Eleven people with upper-limb paresis following first-time stroke received three interventions over a one-week period at an in-patient rehabilitation facility in Berlin, Germany. Participants carried out the mirror therapy protocol using the immersive virtual-reality system as an adjunct therapy to their standard rehabilitation program. Clinical assessments were performed by the therapist before the first intervention and after the last intervention. Intervention outcomes, virtual reality acceptance and user experiences were examined. The results show that the combination of an immersive virtual-reality system and mirror therapy protocol is feasible for clinical use. Nine out the 11 participants showed some improvement of their affected hand after the intervention. Most of the participants (9 of 11) reported experiencing some psycho-physical effects, such as tingling or paresthesia, in the affected limb during the intervention. The findings indicate that immersive virtual-reality-based mirror therapy is feasible and shows effects comparable to those of conventional mirror therapy.
