Deans' stroke musings: Bending induced polarization charges in non-polar porous polymer for stroke rehabilitation

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.

Bending induced polarization charges in non-polar porous polymer for stroke rehabilitation

This just monitors movement! It DOES NOTHING directly to get survivors recovered. It could be useful, if the measurements provided point DIRECTLY TO 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS!

•
An optimal porosity corresponding to the maximum polarization response of porous polymer is found.
•
The developed intelligence terminal of rehabilitation can successfully collect and recognize the motions of post-stroke patients in real-time.

Abstract

Owing to the flexibility, lightweight, long-life and low cost, polymers are promising candidates to realize electromechanical conversion in wearable electronics. The flexoelectric effect enables non-piezoelectric materials to achieve electromechanical coupling, thereby broadening application ranges of nonpolar polymers. In this work, the porous samples of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with various pore sizes and porosities are fabricated by the sacrificial salt template method and the chemical gas foaming method. The flexoelectric polarization response can be tuned directly by the structural characters of the porous PDMS. The transverse flexoelectric coefficient of porous PDMS can reach approximately 2.9 times the counterpart of the bulk one. The competitive mechanism between strain gradient and permittivity is proposed on flexoelectricity of random porous media by dielectric impedance spectrums and finite element analyses. The present regulation of flexoelectricity provides an alternative to electromechanical conversion. With the deep learning technique based on one-dimensional convolution neural networks, actions of both sick and normal legs of various stroke patients can be well recognized by the designed device of rehabilitation. The present rehabilitation monitoring system, which is an innovative application of the flexoelectricity in the porous polymers, offers a new approach to support physical therapy for post-stroke patients.
