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.

Brain Blood Flow May Tell of Concussion Recovery

Why not use something like this for stroke? Rather than your doctor pulling a recovery diagnostic out of thin air?

In a cohort study of college football players, there was evidence of cerebral blood flow recovery in the right insular and superior temporal cortex both cross-sectionally and longitudinally for those who'd had a concussion, Timothy Meier, PhD, of The Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, N.M., and colleagues reported online in JAMA Neurology.

Importantly, they said, cerebral blood flow was diminished in the dorsal midinsular cortex a month after concussion in athletes who were slower to recover, and it was inversely related to the magnitude of initial psychiatric symptoms.
The findings "suggest regional cerebral blood flow may provide an objective biomarker for tracking both normal and potentially pathological recovery from concussion," Meier and colleagues wrote.
