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.

Adaptive changes in body-specific attention to the paretic and nonparetic feet contribute to dynamic stability during walking in patients with chronic hemiparesis from stroke

 If anything here gets survivors recovered I'm not seeing it. Descriptions of something don't deliver recovery which is the whole fucking point of stroke research!

Highlight

  • •
    Body-specific attention to the nonparetic foot enhances dynamic stability.
  • •
    Severe tactile dysfunction increased body-specific attention to paretic foot.
  • •
    Adaptive changes in body-specific attention support gait control.

Abstract

Background

Body-specific attention contributes to motor control; however, it is unclear how body-specific attention to the lower limbs is related to dynamic stability during walking.

Research question

Is body-specific attention to both paretic and nonparetic feet associated with dynamic stability during walking in patients with chronic hemiparesis?

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 16 patients with chronic hemiparesis, including those with sensory disorders who were capable of walking independently. Body-specific attention was measured using a previously reported visual stimulus detection task. Whole-body angular momentum in the coronal plane, an indicator of dynamic stability during walking, was evaluated using a three-dimensional motion analysis system and force plates. Correlations between body-specific attention, gait parameters, and the subitems of Stroke Impairment Assessment Set were analyzed using either the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient or the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Results

Body-specific attention to the nonparetic foot was negatively correlated with the coronal whole-body angular momentum (r = −0.511), and positively correlated with vertical ground reaction force (r = 0.815) in the second half of the single-stance phase on the paretic side. These results suggest that increased body-specific attention to the nonparetic foot may be associated with greater dynamic stability during walking. In addition, body-specific attention to the paretic foot was negatively correlated with the tactile sensation in the paretic foot (r = −0.576). This indicates that increased body-specific attention to the paretic foot was present in patients with severe tactile function impairment.

Significance

The findings suggest that adaptive changes in body-specific attention to paretic and nonparetic feet, depending on the severity of tactile dysfunction, are associated with dynamic stability during walking.
