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.

Unilateral Vibration Stimulation in Patients With Post-stroke Spasticity Suppresses Muscle Tonus in the Contralateral Homologous Muscles

 Absolutely useless! NO TRANSLATION INTO A USEABLE PROTOCOL! You're all fired!

The goal is to cure spasticity, not just reduce it temporarily! Or don't you believe in solving stroke survivor problems?

Abstract

Objective: 

This study aimed to examine whether unilateral vibration stimulation can reduce spasticity
during the stimulation period in post-stroke patients.

Methods: 

Ten post-stroke patients with increased muscle tone in the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) participated.
Vibration stimulation at 80 Hz was applied to the paretic-side FCR. The H-reflex and muscle stiffness were assessed before, during, and immediately after stimulation. Changes in H-reflex parameters were analyzed alongside muscle stiffness using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results: 

H-reflex measurements showed a temporary reduction in spasticity during stimulation. However,
no significant change was observed in muscle stiffness.

Conclusion: 

Unilateral vibration stimulation may offer immediate neurophysiological suppression of
spasticity during application, although it does not appear to affect muscle stiffness in the short term. These
findings suggest potential for use as a complementary intervention in stroke rehabilitation
