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.

Iranian robot helping restore balance in stroke patients

Finally getting to an objective diagnosis of your stroke defects. With that we could maybe match up stroke protocols and get away from the stupidity of 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'.

Iranian researchers at Sharif University of Technique have built a rehabilitating robot diagnosing the diseases and selects appropriate physical activities automatically to rehabilitate patients suffering stroke.

Saeed Behzadipour, a professor at Biomechanics Department of the University and lead author of the study, said the robot whose nature is not complicated is mainly made of sensors and parts available in the market. Its software has been designed locally by the Iranian researchers, ISNA wrote.
The robot is capable of doing analysis based on sensor data to obtain information.
The system provides a platform on which the patient stands to measure his weight distribution. It also moves in two opposite directions which simulate a condition of imbalance helping the patient to react to keep its balance.
The robot estimates the position of the patience’s standing and provides raw information for analyzing his situation.
The analysis of the data helps the doctor to select the appropriate physical activities and estimates the patient’s progress.
The Iranian researchers are now working on improvement and development of the robot’s capability.
