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.

Keeogo™, a Powered Assistive Walking Device

Do you really think your doctor and hospital have analyzed and compared the 45 posts I've written about exoskeletons and walking and will quickly be able to compare this one to those?
http://www.keeogo.com/
Keeogo™ is a powered assistive walking device that helps you to walk and maintain your independence.
At any given time, Keeogo™ reads your body position and movements, in order to interpret your intentions and help you along the way. It’s like a friend who gives you a supportive push just at the right time.
Keeogo™ does not initiate any movement but waits for your lead. Once you make the first move, it assists you according to the activity. For example, it will help push you up when you lean to stand up or it will slowly support you when you are sitting down.

As you walk at your own pace, Keeogo™ will assist your steps in four different ways, according to the phase of your stride.

  • When your heel hits the ground, it will resist the movement in order to support the weight at the joints of your legs.
  • When you propel forward, it will push you along your own movement.
  • When your foot leaves the ground, it will pull or fold your knee to make your leg lighter.
  • When you swing your foot forward, it will help in the movement to elongate your stride.
