Deans' stroke musings: A functional study on the effectiveness of unilateral versus bilateral upper limb motor recovery and functions in Adults with Chronic 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.

A functional study on the effectiveness of unilateral versus bilateral upper limb motor recovery and functions in Adults with Chronic Stroke

Did your competent? doctor get a protocol created in the past 2.5 years? NO? So, you DON'T have a functioning stroke doctor, do you?

A functional study on the effectiveness of unilateral versus bilateral upper limb motor recovery and functions in Adults with Chronic Stroke

Rajesh Kumar Sahu1*, Anchit Gugnani2, Rahul Ahluwalia3

Abstract

Background:

Stroke is a sudden neurological illness that results in various abnormalities in the brain

region. Paresis, spasticity, and alterations in the muscular activation sequence are all symptoms of a

stroke, resulting in impairment. These immediate effects of stroke impact activity and may limit a

person's engagement.

Aim:

The behavioural and neuro physiological alterations associated with two such rehabilitation

procedures, bilateral and unilateral movement therapy, were compared in this research. This

research aimed to see how functional unilateral vs. bilateral motor recovery and training affected

upper limb function.

Method:

Scores on the FMSA Fugl-Meyer Scale Assessment (separated into distal and proximal

subscales) before and after therapy scales are used to measure involvement, activity, and motor

function, respectively, before and after treatment. Thirty chronic stroke patients were allocated to

control and two training procedures, including six months of daily practice sessions.

Result:

At the baseline, there was a significant distinction between the two groups. Compared to the

control group, the bilateral treatment group demonstrated substantial improvements in FMA test

after the training sessions. Compared to people who received unilateral instruction, those who

received bilateral training demonstrated a reduction in movement time of the damaged arm and an

improvement in capacity of upper limb function.

Conclusion:

Overall, our data imply that a short-term bilateral hand training intervention might help(WHOM will do the research that changes this to WILL RECOVER?)

chronic stroke patients regain upper limb motor function. Unilateral and bilateral, both motor

training may aid in this endeavor.
