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.

New exoskeleton therapy could redefine how stroke survivors relearn to walk

 So, you've proven all these others aren't worth trying?

Ask your doctor which of these walking exoskeletons will get you 100% recovered, meaning walking without the exoskeleton. 

There are many more exoskeletons out there. Which ones has your hospital tested?

Maybe these?

I gave up listing them all, it is your doctor's job to know this.

Your doctor can analyze the intersection of these multiple sets of data. 

No knowledge of ALL OF THESE IS COMPLETE FUCKING INCOMPETENCE!

    • LOPES was first written up in Sept. 2007.

    LOPES researchers hope to get the device into rehabilitation clinics by early 2012, with a mid-2012 target for introduction into the market. Is it available and does your hospital know about it? Have they been following this for the past 13 years? Or are they completely incompetent? But then it doesn't seem to work that well. 

    The latest here:

    New exoskeleton therapy could redefine how stroke survivors relearn to walk

    First-of-its-kind intervention improved range of motion and muscle activation

    •      Study used lower-limb exoskeletons to facilitate therapist-patient interactions while performing functional tasks
    •      Therapist’s and stroke survivor’s exoskeletons were virtually connected at the hips and knees
    •      Patients reported high levels of motivation and enjoyment from new therapy

    EVANSTON, Ill. — Physical therapists have long walked alongside stroke survivors during recovery. Now, they are walking with them.

    Scientists at Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have developed a first-of-its-kind rehabilitation system that virtually connects therapists and patients through robotic exoskeletons. The real-time connection allows therapists to respond to a patient’s movements, continuously adapting support and assistance as the patient’s performance evolves.
