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.

Neurologic Music Therapy in Stroke Rehabilitation

Whoopee, they came up with a cute name. This has been proven to work since 2011
But I bet your hospital still does not have a defined musical stroke protocol. You'll have to bring in your own smartphone and hopefully won't choose any dangerous music to listen to. You don't want to prescribe your own music therapy without your doctors knowledge. It's damned dangerous.

  1. Too much content-free jargon for me to figure out what to actually DO - does this mean I should listen to music with a 4/4 beat while I walk?

    1. Barb, this is a question for your doctor or therapist to answer. How many years did it take for a music selection approved for doing chest compressions in time with it? Never mind, it seems the research now says music doesn't help with compressions. I'm out-of-date.

  2. Barb,
    I don't know about music, but there was a recent post about using a metronome. It helped me with walking a ton.
