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.

A Revolutionary Approach to Advancing Human Ability™ After a Stroke

A puff press release piece from RIC. You will notice no factual statistics on recovery.  Unless your rehabilitation place gives out facts they are just trying to appeal to your hopes. And the term is even trademarked. Big Whoopee.
http://www.ric.org/conditions/stroke-recovery/
RIC sets the standard for care by our novel approach to after-stroke treatment. An expert, integrated team of clinicians and researchers work together to set individual patient goals, tackle challenges, and innovate solutions that improve patient recovery.

Our quality is unrivaled. Our care is top ranked for more than two decades.

This is a tremendously exciting time for neuroscience and physical medicine. We’re learning how plastic the brain is, and how we can impact its ability to rewire itself through targeted therapies. We’re standing on the doorstep of brain-based therapies that offer recovery where it was never possible before.
A research study published by the National Institutes of Health confirms that comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation care is most effective in achieving the best recovery after stroke. Choose RIC and you’re choosing the best. As the #1 ranked rehabilitation hospital in the nation for more than two decades, we define quality by how successful we are at getting every patient to lead the most independent and fulfilling life possible. (numbers?)
We are proud to discharge more patients back home (vs. to another care facility) than anywhere else in the region. We have the most state-of-the-art technology and tools at our fingertips and the most accomplished, leading experts in the field.
On behalf of the entire RIC team, we are honored you are considering us and we look forward to working together on a successful recovery.
Richard L. Harvey, MD
Medical Director, RIC’s Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Center
