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.

A simple handgrip test reveals how strong your working memory may be

My left hand grip is appalling and my occupational therapist had nothing to fix that. First I would have to pry all my fingers open before even trying to grip. My right hand is extremely strong.
This test really has no bearing on stroke survivors.

 A simple handgrip test reveals how strong your working memory may be

A simple handgrip test may reveal more than muscle power in very old adults, offering insight into how physical strength aligns with brain activation in regions that support working memory.

Muscle strength is reliably associated with cognitive function, yet little is known about its effect on working memory. A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology examined correlations between working memory and muscle strength.

Grip strength declines alongside cognitive aging

Grip strength is an important marker of cognitive performance, perhaps because both share the same neural pathways. Muscle strength and cognitive function wane with age. Initially, muscle mass drops by about 3 % to 8 % per decade from approximately 30 to 60 years, followed by a steeper decline.
