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.

Blood Flow Through to the Brain Improved From Moderate Exercise

Since most of us can't walk immediately post-stroke, what exactly is your doctor doing to make sure that your brain gets this extra oxygenated blood to your brain. Better blood flow sounds like it would be great for your brain post-stroke. But then I'm not medically trained and obviously should never question the medical gods procedures.

Research indicates that it is never too late to enjoy the health benefits of moderate aerobic exercise. Brisk walking for 30 to 50 minutes 3 or 4 times each week for 3 months improved blood flow to the brain as much as 15% in a study of women.
At the start of the research, the scientists made use of Doppler ultrasonography to determine blood flow in the internal carotid arteries, which are found in the neck and provide the brain with important glucose and oxygen-rich blood. After examining each individual’s physical health and VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake), which is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can make use of while exercising, the researchers customized training programs for each woman based on her fitness level.
Training began at a base pace of 50 to 60% of the individuals’ VO2 max for half an hour per session, 3 times a week. By the 3rd month, the researchers had increased the training sessions to 50 minutes each, 4 times each week, and added 2 more training sessions at 70 to 80% of their VO2 max for half an hour.
