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.

Rest-activity rhythm characteristics associated with depression symptoms in stroke survivors

It is your doctor's responsibility to ABSOLUTELY INSURE that your mental health post stroke is good.  And that is only possible with 100% recovery protocols. If you don't have those protocols, you don't have a functioning stroke doctor. Depression is a secondary problem that would not exist if you had 100% recovery protocols.

Abstract: Study determined which 24-hour rest-activity rhythm (RAR) characteristics are associated with depression symptoms in stroke survivors. Participants included 63 stroke survivors recruited locally and a nationally representative probability sample of 280 stroke survivors from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Objective RAR characteristics derived from accelerometer recordings including activity onset/offset times and non-parametric measures of RAR strength (relative amplitude), stability (inter-daily stability), and fragmentation (intra-daily variability). The presence of depression symptoms was categorized using Patient Health Questionnaire scores. In both samples, the only RAR characteristic associated with depression symptoms was intra-daily variability (fragmentation): local sample, odds ratio=1.96; NHANES sample, odds ratio=1.34. In the NHANES sample, which included both mild and moderate/severe depression, the association between 24-hour sleep-wake fragmentation and depression symptoms was driven by moderate-to-severe cases. Stroke survivors with higher levels of RAR fragmentation were more likely to have depression symptoms in both samples. These findings have implications, given prior studies in general samples linking RAR fragmentation with future depression and dementia risk. Research is needed to establish the potential consequences, mechanisms, and modifiability of RAR fragmentation in stroke survivors.
