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.

Yoga may improve cognitive function in older adults at risk for decline

What is your doctor's EXACT PROTOCOL to restore your lost 5 years because of your stroke? NO protocol, you don't have a functioning stroke doctor! 

RUN AWAY!

  How many years will this recover?

Your competent doctor has had you doing yoga for a decade or more so this is nothing new.

 

Yoga may improve cognitive function in older adults at risk for decline

Yoga may prevent inflammation and cognitive decline in those at risk, according to a poster presentation at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference.

“Brief mind-body practices can be a useful adjunct preventive strategy that can reduce stress, improve sleep, reduce inflammation and provide neuroplastic effects on the brain with improved structural and functional connectivity and improved cognitive performance, especially in those who are interested in integrative medicine approaches,” study author Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS, a professor in the department of psychiatry at UCLA, told Healio.

“Yoga could be a useful adjunct strategy for prevention of cognitive decline with possible anti-inflammatory effects and direct neuroplastic effects on the brain.” Helen Lavretsky, MD, MS

In a randomized controlled trial of 79 patients, Lavretsky and colleagues assessed the efficacy of Kundalini yoga vs. memory enhancement training on mood and cognitive function in women with a mean age of 66.5 years.

The group that participated in yoga demonstrated improvements in seriousness of forgetting at both 12 weeks and 24 weeks. Participating in yoga prevented decrement in gray matter volumes compared with memory training. Furthermore, the researchers found that right hippocampal volume increased after participating in yoga. Compared with the yoga group, the memory enhancement training group had higher levels of inflammation.

“Yoga could be a useful adjunct strategy for prevention of cognitive decline with possible anti-inflammatory effects and direct neuroplastic effects on the brain that result in improved subjective cognitive impairment,” Lavretsky said.
