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.

Description
Learn what spasticity really is, why it happens after stroke, and what you can do at home to help manage it. Spasticity can feel confusing, frustrating, and unpredictable. One day your arm, hand, leg, or foot may feel loose. The next day it may feel tight, stiff, or difficult to move. In this free webinar, licensed neuro physical therapist Rachel Higdon will explain what spasticity is, why it starts in the brain, and how daily tools like slow stretching, breathing, positioning, rhythmic movement, and weight bearing may help calm the nervous system. You’ll also learn when it may be time to talk with a medical provider about options like medication, Botox, splinting, orthotics, or other treatments. What You’ll Learn (THAT THEY KNOW  NOTHING ABOUT CURING IT! That's the takeaway!) • The difference between normal muscle tone, tightness, and spasticity • Why spasticity happens after stroke or neurological injury • Common triggers that can make spasticity worse, including stress, pain, fatigue, poor sleep, cold, and fast movements • Gentle home strategies that may help reduce reflex overactivity • How positioning, stretching, and weight bearing can support better movement • When to ask your care team about medical treatment options
