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.

From Evidence to Practice: Efficacy and Implementation of High-intensity Locomotor Training for Stroke Rehabilitation

 And your doctorate advisors didn't inform you of problems with HIT?  You will 100% guarantee that HIT will not cause a stroke? By verifying that your aneurysms will not blow out?

Do you really want to do high intensity training?

Because Andrew Marr blames high-intensity training for his stroke. 

Can too much exercise cause a stroke?

From Evidence to Practice: Efficacy and Implementation of High-intensity Locomotor Training for Stroke Rehabilitation

Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences, Youngstown State University, Department of Graduate Studies in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.
This dissertation investigates the efficacy and real-world implementation of high-intensity locomotor training (HIT) for stroke patients during inpatient rehabilitation. The project was guided by three specific aims: (1) to evaluate the strength of the evidence supporting HIT for improving ambulation outcomes, (2) to determine whether clinicians can replicate these results in a real-world setting, and (3) to identify the barriers and facilitators to implementing HIT in inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) across the United States. The first study, a systematic review, confirmed that HIT is more effective than usual care in improving gait speed and endurance at discharge for patients with stroke, with moderate effect sizes on meta-analysis. The second study, a retrospective analysis of a clinician-initiated HIT project, revealed challenges in replicating these outcomes in a real world setting, possibly due to low implementation fidelity suggesting that a minimum threshold of fidelity may be necessary to see unit-wide improvements. The third study used a Delphi survey approach to explore the experiences of clinicians implementing HIT in IRFs. While several facilitators to HIT adoption were identified, a notable barrier was insufficient time, consistent with barriers to evidence-based practice reported in other rehabilitation disciplines. Despite favorable conditions, less than half of surveyed clinicians reported using HIT daily, indicating ongoing challenges. HIT is an effective intervention for improving walking ability in patients post-stroke during inpatient rehabilitation. Future research should focus on addressing key barriers, exploring optimal dosing strategies and fidelity targets, and developing interdisciplinary approaches to increase the widespread adoption of HIT across the continuum of care in stroke rehabilitation.
