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.

Redefining stroke rehabilitation: Mobilizing the embodied goal-oriented brain

 This won't do a damn bit of good until you save hundreds of millions to billions of neurons in the first week by stopping the 5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death.

Do you people ever think at all?

Highlights

  • Current poststroke rehabilitation shows limited impact and lacks scalability, questioning both its foundations and practice.

  • The latest advances in the neuroscience of stroke argue for all architecture and network perspective.

  • The adaptive mechanisms underlying the embodied, situated, and volitional brain must take center stage in rehabilitation.

  • Translation to the clinic requires system-level models such as the Distributed Adaptive Control theory of mind and brain.

  • Brain theory-informed scalable interventions, such as the Rehabilitation Gaming System, outperform standard interventions.

Abstract

Advancements in stroke rehabilitation remain limited and call for a reorientation. Based on recent results, this study proposes a network-centric perspective on stroke, positing that it not only causes localized deficits but also affects the brain's intricate network of networks, transiting it into a pathological state. Translating these system-level insights into interventions requires brain theory, and the Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC) theory offers such a framework. When applied in the rehabilitation gaming system, these principles demonstrate superior results over conventional methods. This impact stems from activating extensive brain networks, particularly the executive control network, focused motor learning, and maintaining excitatory-inhibitory balance, which is essential for neural repair and functional reorganization. The analysis stresses uniting preclinical and clinical research and placing the architecture of the embodied volitional brain at the centre of rehabilitation approaches.
