Deans' stroke musings: Acute Stroke Rehabilitation:Clinical Recommendations and Practical Guidance for Stroke Specialists

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.

Abstract

Acute stroke rehabilitation is essential for preventing disuse syndrome and other post-stroke complications, promoting neurological recovery, improving activities of daily living, and facilitating social reintegration. However, acute stroke rehabilitation programs and service-delivery systems vary considerably among institutions in Japan. To address this issue, the Japan Stroke Society established a project team to promote the standardization and equitable provision of acute stroke rehabilitation. Based on a nationwide cross-sectional web-based questionnaire survey of 959 primary stroke centers and a literature review, the first clinical recommendations for acute stroke rehabilitation were made publicly available on the Japan Stroke Society's website in June 2023. In this article, we summarize the key concepts and clinical considerations of the acute stroke recommendations with a focus on issues relevant to stroke specialists. In-bed exercises and dysphagia screening should be promptly initiated after admission. Mobilization is generally appropriate 24-48 h after stroke onset, whereas very early, high-dose mobilization within 24 h should be performed cautiously. In selected patients with acute complications, rehabilitation training may be continued provided that neurological symptoms and systemic conditions remain stable. Adequate training duration and frequency, provision of rehabilitation on nonworking days, early dysphagia management, and nutritional support are also important components of acute stroke rehabilitation. Safe and effective rehabilitation requires a multidisciplinary approach and standardized institutional protocols. Stroke specialists should assess neurological and systemic stability, complications, comorbidities, and stroke pathophysiology to determine when rehabilitation training and mobilization can be initiated safely.
