Deans' stroke musings: Rehabilitation With Bridging Exercise In Stroke Patients: Systematic Review

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.

Rehabilitation With Bridging Exercise In Stroke Patients: Systematic Review

This review is useless without a creation of a protocol and distribution of that protocol to all stroke hospitals.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a neurological disease that can result in weakness in part or all of the body, emphasizing the importance of early mobilization in post-stroke recovery. One of the fundamental physical exercises recommended is the bridging exercise. This article evaluates the impact of bridging exercises on stroke patients through a systematic review approach, focusing on their potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes.

Methods: The methodology involved a systematic review of studies from 2020 to 2024, using journal databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed. Keywords like "Bridging exercise," "Stroke," "Stroke patients," "Rehabilitation," "Muscle strength," and "Body balance" guided the search. Articles included in the review were in English and selected based on PRISMA guidelines, resulting in seven eligible studies for analysis.

Results: The results of this review highlight that bridging exercises significantly improve muscle strength and body balance among stroke patients. The exercises demonstrated a positive influence on patients' rehabilitation progress, contributing to better physical and functional health outcomes.

Conclusion: In conclusion, bridging exercises serve as an effective intervention in stroke rehabilitation, promoting early mobilization and improving post-stroke recovery. Encouraging stroke patients to incorporate these exercises into their rehabilitation routines could enhance overall health and functional capabilities.
