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.

Why Does Weakness Happen After a Stroke? Join Our Free Webinar with Neuro Therapist Rachel Higdon by Flint Rehab

Since no mention is made of EXACT PROTOCOLS  being provided, I will pass on this. I'm tired of guidelines being provided instead of EXACT RECOVERY PROTOCOLS! When she is the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke  she'll want those instead of these almost useless guidelines.

Why Does Weakness Happen After a Stroke? Join Our Free Webinar with Neuro Therapist Rachel Higdon

Many stroke survivors are told to "keep exercising," but few are ever taught why weakness happens after a stroke or what the brain actually needs to rebuild movement.

In this free educational webinar, neurological physical therapist Rachel Higdon, PT, will explain what causes weakness, paralysis, and slow movement after stroke in a way that's easy to understand.

More importantly, she'll share evidence-based techniques you can begin using at home to support recovery.

Whether your stroke happened weeks ago or years ago, understanding how the brain relearns movement can help you make better decisions about your rehabilitation.
