Why were we trying to signal the weak muscles to respond rather than signal the contracting ones to relax?

Did you learn that at my talk? anyway, i need to add that, so thanks. Unknown: I just looked up the Active Passive Trainer. It may help. I doubt there's any research specifically on it. But it does actively engage muscles, which might help[ reestablish cortical control over spastic muscles. But there are much cheaper ways of doing that! Steven, i have heard of that for cramps, but not spasticity. Cramps: temporary. spasticity: long-term. thanks y'all!Peter G Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585356059363005619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-24642215944397671222020-08-31T10:33:09.370-07:002020-08-31T10:33:09.370-07:00Yes!

If we are eStimming the extensors why isn't reciprocal inhibition turning off the flexors? Or should we be figuring out how to eStim the flexors as if they are being sent reciprocal commands?

I think this is not true, I know a stroke patient who continued to make progress beyond the 6 months after stroke, even till 2 years post-stroke. Her recovery was initially slow, as it was setback by complications from tpA, so rehabilitation could commence only after the complications had resolved. Yet, while late, as long as effort was being put in, there was continuous improvement way beyond the 6 months after stroke. So "slow and steady wins the race" does hold true. Of course, the earlier the patient works on rehabilitation, the sooner recovery can take place, but importantly as long as one doesn't give up, effort will pay off.Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148447438192561992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-6045375316998226072019-08-30T07:47:58.651-07:002019-08-30T07:47:58.651-07:00Plzzz whats app me need help m stroke patien...Plzzz whats app me need help m stroke patient <br />9967414682<br />Need infoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743073144612475275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-34896794751758001632019-08-07T00:26:44.655-07:002019-08-07T00:26:44.655-07:00Physio for stroke patients is an effective way to ...<a href="https://www.sukino.com/Stroke-Rehabilitation-Center" rel="nofollow"> Physio for stroke patients</a> is an effective way to help them speed up on the road to recovery!<br />Manishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731971258879435961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-75982908014652645302019-08-07T00:24:13.982-07:002019-08-07T00:24:13.982-07:00Aftercare for stroke patients is a very important ...<a href="https://www.sukino.com/Stroke-Rehabilitation-Center" rel="nofollow"> Aftercare for stroke patients</a> is a very important part of recovery.

I studied the Phase 1 results, because I applied for the Phase 2 trial "Study of Modified Stem Cells (SB623) in Patients With Chronic Motor Deficit From Ischemic Stroke (ACTIsSIMA)" with 156 participants. This is the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02448641 I applied in 2016 and was accepted in 2017. The screening testing & MRI was on 05/01/17. After that, the procedure was on 07/13/17. The waiver & consent form was extensive. 8 Follow up visits for MRI's and testing took a year and I completed the trial 06/04/18. I had no improvement and do not know whether I was in the placebo group yet. That will be interesting, if they ever publish the results. I can't imagine what the company is spending on this trial. Personally, I am skeptical, but if it works that might help a lot of people. I have no regrets and it was quite an experience.<br />Geoff.Wenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759110970004931043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174880937451768707.post-31870865861891576292019-07-06T19:16:03.225-07:002019-07-06T19:16:03.225-07:00Peter,
