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.

Exploring the efficacy of virtual reality-based rehabilitation in stroke: a narrative review of current evidence

Useless, you didn't create a protocol and provide us the location for all 10 million yearly stroke survivors.

ABSTRACT

Background: 
 
Stroke rehabilitation presents a complex challenge, necessitating innovative
approaches to optimise functional recovery. Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation (VRBR) has
emerged as a promising intervention that capitalises on immersive technology to engage stroke
survivors in their recovery journey. This review aims to examine the efficacy of VRBR in stroke
rehabilitation, focusing on its advantages and challenges.
 
Methods: 
A comprehensive search of relevant literature was conducted to gather evidence on
the efficacy of VRBR in stroke survivors. Studies that investigated the impact of VRBR on patient
engagement, functional recovery, and overall rehabilitation outcomes were included. The review
also assessed the ability of VRBR to simulate real-life scenarios and facilitate essential daily
activities for stroke survivors.
Results: 
 
The review highlights that VRBR offers a unique immersive experience that enhances
patient engagement and motivation during rehabilitation. The immersive nature of VRBR fosters
a sense of presence, which can positively impact treatment adherence and outcomes. Moreover,
VRBR’s capacity to replicate real-world scenarios provides stroke survivors with opportunities to
practice vital daily activities, promoting functional independence. In contrast, conventional
rehabilitation methods lack the same level of engagement and real-world simulation.
 
Conclusion: 
 
VRBR holds promise as an efficacious intervention in stroke rehabilitation.(Well then, where is the protocol for this?) Its
immersive nature enhances patient engagement and motivation, potentially leading to better
treatment adherence and outcomes. The ability of VRBR to simulate real-life scenarios offers a
unique platform. However, challenges such as cost, equipment, patient suitability, data privacy,
and acceptance must be addressed for successful integration into stroke rehabilitation practice
