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.

Structural validity and internal consistency of a hypothesized factor structure of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the upper extremity

No clue. But great word salad though.

Abstract: Study assessed the structural validity and internal consistency of the original, short, and hypothesized forms of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the upper extremity (FMA-UE). The factor structure was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the adequate model of each hypothetical FMA-UE form (original, 30-item, 27-item, and 6-item forms). The internal consistency of each FMA-UE form and subscale was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha after factor structure evaluation. Data were obtained from 363 patients with first-episode stroke (median age = 70.0, median days = 75.0). The results of the original form models were not estimated by CFA. Of all FMA-UE forms, the 30-item form lacked three reflex items and the 27-item form lacked three reflex and three coordination items; these forms demonstrated an adequate model fitness. The 6-item form demonstrated a poor model fit. All FMA-UE forms and subscales showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha >0.91). The 30- and 27-item FMA-UE forms showed a good factor structure; therefore, these forms are eligible for use in clinical practice. However, future studies should define the factor structure of the 6-item form.
