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.

Upper limb rehabilitation following stroke - free online taster course - Nicky Snowdon University Lecturer in physiotherapy at Sheffield Hallam University

Free course, designed for therapists but survivors should crash it to make it real for them. Don't be polite, call them out on their total lack of knowledge.  Have at it, I'm going to compare it to what I've already written about.

This online taster course is designed for therapists who are considering joining our MSc in Advancing Physiotherapy Practice as a distance learning student. It will give you a taste of what it is like to study online. The course commences on the 25th May and runs for two weeks.

Free open access online taster course

The course will focus on rehabilitation of the upper limb following stroke. We will discuss current issues in practice and how these challenge us to achieve an active, evidence informed approach to rehabilitation, which is engaging for stroke survivors and produces results. We hope that by the end of the short course, you will be confident in applying current evidence around upper limb rehabilitation to your practice.
Week 1 - starts 25th May 2016 - What are the ingredients of good upper limb rehabilitation?

Week 2 - starts 1st June 2016 - Assessment of the upper limb following stroke.
The course will involve several interactive aspects to model the types of activities you would do as part of an online Master's course. Our online learning provision at SHU is characterised by - conversation with other learners (including the tutors), structured learning, practical relevance and multi-media resources.

You do not need to register to join the course. Simply revisit this web page after 25th May and the whole course will appear. You can either work through the course at the recommended rate to get the most out of interactivity with others or you can work through the course at your own pace.


To gain a certificate of completion, we ask you to:
1. Engage in each of the interactive activities, posting at least one comment in each week.
2. E-mail a short, reflective piece to us before the 22nd June 2016.
