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.

Effect of Constrained Weight Shift With and Without Trunk Stabilization Training on Balance in Chronic Stroke Patients

 With NO EXACT protocol written and distributed to all 10 million yearly survivors you did fucking useless work!

Effect of Constrained Weight Shift With and Without Trunk Stabilization Training on Balance in Chronic Stroke Patients

Abstract

Background

Stroke survivors often exhibit impaired postural control and balance due to trunk weakness and asymmetrical weight-bearing, increasing the risk of falls and limiting functional independence. Targeted rehabilitation strategies are essential to improve static and dynamic balance in chronic stroke patients.

Purpose

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of constrained weight shift (CWS) training with trunk stabilization versus CWS training alone on static and dynamic balance in chronic stroke patients.

Methods

Thirty chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to Group A (CWS + trunk stabilization) or Group B (CWS only). Both groups underwent 45-60-minute sessions, five days per week for six weeks, totaling 26 supervised sessions. Training involved weight-shifting exercises, functional tasks, and core strengthening exercises for the experimental group. Balance outcomes were assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) pre- and post-intervention.

Results

Both groups demonstrated improvements in static and dynamic balance; however, Group A showed significantly greater gains in BBS and TIS scores (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Adding trunk stabilization to CWS training enhances static and dynamic balance recovery in chronic stroke patients.
