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.

Fatigue Experiences in People With Stroke

Well, post stroke fatigue has been proven for years! Don't you keep up-to-date on research? 

Whomever approved this research needs to be fired! This post stroke fatigue has been known forever. SOLVE THE FUCKING PROBLEM!

At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Known since March 2017

Or is it 70%? Known since March 2015

Or is it 40%? Known since September 2017

I'd have you all fired for incompetence!

Fatigue Experiences in People With Stroke

Research Alert

Abstract

Purpose 

Fatigue is a major symptom in patients with stroke. Because fatigue is an overarching multidimensional phenomenon, it is important to understand how the characteristics of fatigue change over time. The purpose of this study was to explore how fatigue characteristics change over time in patients with stroke.

Design 

This study used a mixed-method observational design.

Methods 

This study is a secondary analysis of data from a previous study, the results of which indicated fatigue to be a prominent symptom. Participants in that study were patients with stroke who met eligibility criteria and provided informed consent. This secondary analysis used data from numeric rating scale scores for fatigue, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue Scale scores, fatigue descriptors, and participant comments about fatigue gleaned from transcribed interviews.

Results 

Twenty-two patients participated in the study. Thirteen characteristics of fatigue were evaluated. Seven characteristics showed significant improvement (p < .05) from admission to 1 month follow-up, and six characteristics did not change significantly.

Conclusions 

Fatigue experiences vary over time and have both physical and mental aspects to them.

Clinical Relevance to Rehabilitation Nursing 

Nurses may consider providing a quiet environment for physical rest, which may allow the brain to not be distracted by multiple stimuli.
