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.

Implementing ward-based practice books to increase the amount of practice completed during inpatient stroke rehabilitation: a mixed-methods process evaluation

You don't understand ONE GODDAMN THING ABOUT SURVIVOR MOTIVATION, DO YOU? You create 100% recovery protocols and your survivor will be motivated to do the millions of reps needed because they are looking forward to 100% recovery. GET THERE! 

The problem is stroke researchers are not motivated to solve stroke. What the fuck is your solution to that failure? We still don't know how to motivate stroke medical 'professionals' to solve stroke to 100% recovery!

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Stroke survivors must complete large amounts of practice to achieve functional improvements
but spend many hours inactive during their rehabilitation. We conducted a mixed methods process
evaluation exploring factors affecting the success of a 6-month behaviour change intervention to
increase use of ward-based practice books.
Methods: Audits of the presence, quality and use of ward based-practice books were conducted,
alongside focus groups with staff (n = 19), and interviews with stroke survivors (n = 3) and family
members (n = 4). Quantitative data were analysed descriptively. Focus group and interview transcripts
were analysed using qualitative analysis.
Results: Personal (patient-related) factors (including severe weakness, cognitive and communication
deficits of stroke survivors), staff coaching skills, understanding and beliefs about their role, affected
practice book use. Staff turnover, nursing shift work and a lack of action planning reduced success of
the behaviour change intervention.
Conclusions: Staff with the necessary skills and understanding of their role in implementing ward practice
overcame personal (patient-related) factors and assisted stroke survivors to successfully practice on the ward.
To improve success of the intervention, repeated training of new staff is required. In addition to audit and
feedback, team action planning is needed around the presence, quality, and use of ward practice books.
h IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION
• Ward-based practice books are one evidence-based strategy that can be used by rehabilitation
teams to increase the amount of practice completed by stroke survivors during inpatient rehabilitation.
• Stroke survivors’ personal factors (including severe weakness, cognitive and communication deficits),
staff beliefs about their role and coaching skills, affected stroke survivors ability to practice on the
ward using practice books.
• Staff with the necessary skills, understanding and belief about their role in implementing ward
practice can overcome personal (patient related) factors (such as severe weakness) and assist stroke
survivors to successfully practice on the ward.
• To increase the success of ward practice, repeated booster training of staff is required along with audit
and feedback and team action planning on the presence, quality, and use of ward practice books
