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.

Environmental enrichment: a neurostimulatory approach to aging and ischemic stroke recovery and rehabilitation

 If you don't have this protocol your whole fucking hospital has been incompetent for 14 years!

If your doctor and hospital hasn't created protocols on environmental enrichment since the

enriched environment talked about by Dr. Dale Corbett in 2011.

You don't have a functioning stroke hospital or doctor. Why the fuck do they consider themselves a stroke hospital? 

RUN AWAY! 

Environmental enrichment: a neurostimulatory approach to aging and ischemic stroke recovery and rehabilitation

Abstract

Environmental enrichment (EE) represents a robust experimental framework exploring the intricate interplay between genes and the environment in shaping brain development and function. EE is recognized as a non-invasive intervention, easily translatable to elderly human cohorts, and extrapolated from research on animal aging models. Age is the most important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Research indicates that EE, characterized by increased sensory, cognitive, and social stimulation, leads to structural changes in the brain, such as enhanced dendritic complexity and synaptic density, particularly in the hippocampus and cortex. Tailored EE interventions for elderly stroke survivors include cognitively stimulating activities and participation in social groups. These interventions enhance cognitive function and support recovery by promoting neural repair. Additionally, EE helps to mitigate sensory deficits commonly observed in older adults, ultimately improving mental performance and quality of life. EE has shown promise in preventing relapse, enhancing attention, reducing anxiety, forestalling age-related DNA methylation alterations, and amplifying neurogenesis through heightened neural progenitor cell (NPC) populations. Aligning preclinical studies with clinical trials can enhance neurorehabilitation conditions for stroke patients, thereby optimizing the environments in which they recover. This can be achieved through the concerted efforts of multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively. This review explores how EE specifically impacts the aging brain and ischemic stroke, a major age-related neurological disorder with global health implications. The potential of enviro-mimetics and relevant clinical studies on EE’s effects on ischemic stroke survivors are discussed. This review enhances our understanding of the effects of EE on aging and ischemic stroke, motivating further research aimed at refining strategies for stroke management and recovery.
