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.

5000 Steps a Day May Slow Disease Progression in Early Alzheimer’s Disease

 All these other step counts; which one is your competent? doctor enamored of?

Your competent? doctor better get you recovered enough to do whatever number of steps you want.

Oh no, your doctors completely fucking failed at that task, and you haven't fired them yet?!

Well, there's all these other numbers for walking that your doctor already told you about, right? Choose one.

The latest here:

5000 Steps a Day May Slow Disease Progression in Early Alzheimer’s Disease

Taking just over 5000 steps daily could curb progression of preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by slowing the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, new data showed, possibly offering a more attainable activity goal for sedentary older adults.

Tau accumulation and cognition plateaued with 5001-7500 steps per day, but even modest activity at 3001-5000 steps daily was associated with notable slowing of tau accumulation and cognitive decline in those with existing early AD pathology.

Researchers leading the Harvard Aging Brain Study (HABS) had previously reported that higher daily step counts were linked to slower cognitive decline among cognitively normal adults with elevated brain amyloid-beta, but it was unclear whether this might be related to changes in amyloid-beta or tau over time or if more moderate activity would offer the same benefit.

“In the current study with a larger HABS cohort with longer follow-up, we were able to clarify that the association with cognitive decline was not explained by differences in amyloid accumulation,” first author Wai-Ying Wendy Yau, MD, with Massachusetts General Brigham and Harvard Medical School, Boston, told Medscape Medical News.

“Instead, for a given amount of elevated amyloid burden, higher step counts were associated with slower accumulation of tau — the protein most closely linked to memory loss in AD — which largely explained the relationship with slower cognitive decline,” Yau said.

The study was published online on November 3 in Nature Medicine.
