Deans' stroke musings: Self-reported emotional health and social support but not executive function are associated with participation after stroke

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.

Self-reported emotional health and social support but not executive function are associated with participation after stroke

Does anything here get survivors recovered? 100% recovery protocols would solve all these secondary problems! Why aren't you working on those?

Abstract: Study investigated emotional health, executive functioning (EF), and social support as predictors of participation restrictions following stroke. Data were collected from 114 participants with and without aphasia at least 6 months after mild stroke using three participation outcome measures: Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL), Activity Card Sort, and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) Version 2.0 Participation/Role Function domain. Predictor variables investigated were emotional health (SIS Emotion domain scores), EF (Delis Kaplan Executive Function System Trail Making Condition 4), social support (Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey), stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale), and education level. Using multiple regression, these predictors accounted for 26.4 to 40 percent of the variance for the three participation outcomes. Emotional health was a significant independent predictor across all three measures. Social support was a significant predictor of participation as measured on the RNL. Executive function was not a significant predictor of participation when controlling for the other predictor variables. Emotional health and social support should be considered as modifiable factors that could optimize meaningful participation and quality of life.
