Deans' stroke musings: Music-based intervention drives paretic limb acceleration into intentional movement frequencies in chronic stroke rehabilitation.

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.

Music-based intervention drives paretic limb acceleration into intentional movement frequencies in chronic stroke rehabilitation.

Until you cure my spasticity reaching is impossible. This is cherry picking subjects at its' finest.

Abstract: Study presents a novel kinematic assessment of paretic-limb function "online" during the actual therapeutic exercisers rooted within the acceleration domain. Twenty-eight patients at chronic stroke stages participated in an auditory-motor intervention mapping reaching movements of the paretic arm onto surfaces of large digital musical instruments and sound tablets that provided rhythmic entrainment cues and augmented auditory feedback. Patients also wore a tri-axial accelerometer on the paretic limb during the nine-session intervention. The resulting acceleration profiles were extracted and quantified within the frequency domain. Measures of peak power and peak width were leveraged to estimate volitional control and temporal consistency of paretic-limb movements, respectively. Clinical assessments included the Wolf Motor Function Test and Fugl-Meyer - Upper Extremity (FM-UE) subtest. The results showed that peak power increased significantly from Session 1 to Session 9 within oscillatory frequency ranges associated with intentional movement execution. Decreases in peak width over time provided additional evidence for improved paretic-arm control from a temporal perspective. In addition, peak width values obtained in Session 1 was significantly correlated with pre-test FM-UE scores. These results highlighted improvements in paretic-limb acceleration as an underlying mechanism in stroke motor recovery and shed further light on the utility of accelerometry-based measures of paretic-limb control in stroke rehabilitation.
