Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 32,868 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!trillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach day because there areNOeffective 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 Study to Estimate How Often Post-stroke Spasticity Occurs and to Provide a Standard Guideline on the Best Way to Monitor Its Development
Since this doesn't get spasticity cured; COMPLETELY FUCKING USELESS!
Of course the infamous Dr. William M. Landau thinks spasticity is not worth treating.
Do you believe in the do nothingism of Dr. William M. Landau on spasticity?
This study will monitor patients during the first year following their stroke. Stroke is a very serious condition where there is a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain. The main aim of the study will be to find out how many of those who experience their first-ever stroke then go on to develop spasticity that would benefit from treatment with medication. Spasticity is a common post-stroke condition that causes stiff or ridged muscles. The results of this study will provide a standard guideline on the best way to monitor the development of post-stroke spasticity.
Participant must be aged 18 to 90 years at the time of providing informed consent
First-ever clinical stroke, defined according to World Health Organization criteria as rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function lasting more than 24 hours, within the past 4 weeks;
Confirmed paresis of the arms and/or legs which does not resolve within 1 day, according to the NIHSS score (a score of > 0 on Question 5 or 6 of the scale) within 2 weeks after the stroke
Capable of giving informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
Upper or lower extremity functional impairment prior to stroke per investigator judgement (e.g., modified Rankin Scale >2);
Presence of significant/major neurological impairment that might affect muscle tone (other than limb paresis);
Severe multi-impairment or diminished physical condition before stroke that could have caused paresis/spasticity/motor deficit per investigator judgement;
Life expectancy of less than 12 months as a result of severity of stroke or other illnesses (e.g. cardiac disease, malignancy, etc.)
