Deans' stroke musings: Body structure/function impairments and activity limitations of post-stroke that predict social participation: A systematic review

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.

Body structure/function impairments and activity limitations of post-stroke that predict social participation: A systematic review

I see nothing here that helps survivors recover! Good stroke research does exactly that.

Abstract: This review identified post-stroke body structure/function impairments and activity limitations that predict social participation restrictions in the community. Eleven studies with a total of 2,412 individuals (58.4 percent men, 83.7 percent ischemic stroke), which investigated body structure and function impairments or activity limitations of post-stroke individuals as predictors of social participation in the community, were included. The Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. The results were synthesized according to the exposure variable found to predict social participation restrictions, considering the used statistical models. Seven exposures were assessed across studies, in which 10 studies assessed body structure and function exposures (stroke severity, cognitive, executive, emotional and motor function), and 8 studies assessed activity exposures (daily living activity and walking ability). There is some evidence that stroke severity, mental and motor deficits, limitations in activities of daily living, and the ability to walk after a stroke can predict social participation in the community.
