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.

Design Requirements for a Haptic-Assisted Hand Motor Training Systems in Stroke Rehabilitation: Insights from a Multidisciplinary Cohort

 We've been trying haptic stuff for a well over a decade and only now are getting around to figuring out how to design with this! A complete indictment of the lack of stroke leadership driving the 100% recovery strategy to completion!

    Abstract

    Stroke survivors with disabilities must actively participate in targeted rehabilitation processes to recover their skills and prevent secondary impairments. Haptic technology offers the potential to restore motor functions by integrating visual perception and tactile sensation. However, designing a haptic-assisted hand motor training system for stroke patients poses significant challenges concerning how the program should be developed to achieve the most favorable rehabilitation outcomes. This research aimed to identify the essential design requirements tailored to the unique needs of stroke patients and their care providers, then develop a prototype hand motor training system. A diverse and inclusive cohort was selected for this study. The participants were provided with comprehensive details, ensuring a clear understanding of the objectives. In-depth interviews were conducted to gather valuable insights, which were then summarized and used as the foundation for developing the proposed rehabilitation system. The results highlighted integrating training games with a variety of difficulty levels, and hand-motor functions. The findings provide valuable guidance  that could enhance the rehabilitation experience and improve patient outcomes. Moreover, the prototype system developed from these human needs could also be used for real-time measurement, thus facilitating the uncomplicated and rapid evaluation of post-training patients.
