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.

Who you gonna call for stroke rehab - Strokebusters?

No. There is really no one to call because no one really knows anything.
1. Only 10% get to full recovery. And I bet your doctor can't tell you why/how that group did it.
2. Peter Levine explains why we don't have answers to simple stroke rehab questions.

Oh, you wanted answers, now I get it!

3. Pretty much like Dr. Steven Wolf writes, a rehabilitation stroke expert and professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. "Stroke patients need to rely more on their own problem solving to regain mobility".

4. My ranting obscene take on why recovery is so hard.

If you just had a stroke, You are F*cking screwed

5. Most of your stroke associations are for doctors not stroke survivors, no point in contacting them. How the NSA responded to a question asking what therapies were available for spasticity;
