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.

Effect of Tai Chi combined with visual-action-sensory rehabilitation therapies on cognitive function in acute ischemic stroke: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Let's see how long your doctor has been TOTALLY FUCKING INCOMPETENT IN NOT CREATING PROTOCOLS ON THIS!

  • action observation (142 posts to June 2014)
  • tai chi (26 posts to April 2013)

    • There are NO excuses allowed for such incompetence, the board of directors should have performance measures in place that would fire these people.

    Abstract

     Introduction
    Early cognitive intervention in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with better outcomes. ‘Visual-action-sensory’ rehabilitation therapies, including action observation therapy (AOT) and sensory observation therapy (SOT) have shown great potential in restoring cognitive function. A systematic review of some studies on the therapeutic effect of Tai Chi (TC)in stroke patients suggests potential benefits on depression, anxiety, and balance function. Therefore, combining AOT with TC may enhance brain functional connectivity and provide some cognitive improvements. Here, we describe a study protocol assessing the long-term effects of TC-AOT combined with SOT on cognitive function with AIS.

    Methods
    This study is a dual-arm, single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. A total of 86 AIS patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group. The control group will receive conventional exercise education and follow-up. The intervention group first watched tactile stimulation followed by TC action videos, and then practiced imitating TC movements. The program will be implemented once a day for 30 min, 5 days a week for a duration of 8 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, week 8, and week 12. The primary outcome is global cognitive function and secondary outcomes are language, attention, executive function, memory, visuospatial ability, neuropsychological assessments, and quality of daily life.

    Conclusion
    The study anticipates that the therapeutic program described here will help to reduce the incidence of cognitive impairment in AIS patients or delay its progression.
