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.

Postural control and gait quality in individuals in the chronic phase of stroke undergoing mobile robotic-assisted training: a pilot randomized clinical trial

 Since this didn't work, ask your competent? doctor WHAT EXACT PROTOCOLS WILL RECOVER YOUR GAIT AND PROVIDE POSTURAL CONTROL! Oh darn, HAS NOTHING; So completely fucking incompetent!

And your board of directors is so incompetent they can't recognize incompetence in their hospital!

Abstract 

Background: 
Stroke is the second leading cause of death world wide, after ischemic heart disease. The consequences of stroke can be reduced through systematic rehabilitation of patients, including various types of therapeutic exercises that mitigate neurological deficits and stimulate brain plasticity. Among the most common consequences of stroke are disturbances in body balance and gait. In stroke patients, rehabilitation robots may contribute to improvements in motor function, increased muscle strength, and enhanced gait quality. There is therefore a need for further research to determine which rehabilitation robots are most effective at different stages after stroke and for various types of motor deficits. Aims: The aim of this pilot study was to obtain preliminary evidence on whether and how exercises performed using a mobile rehabilitation robot improve body balance and gait quality in individuals in the chronic phase after stroke. 
Material and methods: 
The study included chronic post-stroke patients (n = 23) randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group (EG), participants performed gait exercises using a mobile rehabilitation robot for 20–40 minutes once daily, 6 days per week, for 3 weeks (a total of 18 training sessions). In the control group (CG), participants performed traditional ground-based gait exercises for 10–20 minutes once daily, 6 days per week, for 3 weeks. Patients in both groups also underwent conventional post-stroke rehabilitation for 2.5 hours per day, 6 days per week, based on best clinical practice principles. 
Results: 
Eighteen training sessions performed either on a mobile robot in the EG or as ground based gait training in the CG did not significantly improve patients’ body balance or gait quality in the chronic phase after stroke. 
Conclusions: 
There is no basis to conclude that ground-based gait training has a statistically significantly greater effect on body balance than training using a mobile robot in individuals in the chronic phase after stroke. Further studies are needed to provide a clear answer as to whether and to what extent mobile robot training can im prove body balance and gait quality in individuals in the chronic phase after stroke. Future clinical trials should consider implementing training protocols consisting of more than 18 sessions
