Large negative rehabilitation trials are more beneficial than small positive ones because we avoid waste, learn what does not work, and improve intervention. This trial on 583 people after stroke found an inadequate cost-consequence benefit. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #neurorehabilitation

Infographic on neglect dyslexia. The text say: This can involve consistent letter omission, additions, and substitution errors on either the left or right side of a word reading individual words. 61% of people who had a stroke have more difficulties with reading then people of a similar age who had not had a stroke. Treatment can include: sounding out letters phonetically, using technology, speech and language therapy. For example, a word-level reading error (if the left side of your vision was affected) could mean that you read the word "blend" as "lend". There is a picture of an older gentleman sitting in an armchair with a hot drink. It also shows a notebook with part of the text blurred.

Reading difficulties after a stroke are common. One type is neglect dyslexia. People misread words because they are not aware of the first or last letters of the word. Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20714712/ Infographic by Bella Belbali

DW. Results from a major trial on vocational rehabilitation (n=583 people with stroke); nor significant clinical effect and cost-consequence analysis makes it too expensive. A shame, but crucial information to develop better interventions. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #neurorehab

Hearing about L1 psychological support at #UKSF24.

Hearing lived experience - “good psychological support lifts me up a bit, helps me to thrive. Bad psychological support can knock me down miles.”

Words have a profound impact +everyone should have L1 Psych Support Training.

Systematic review on experiences of end of life care after stroke- tensions around relationships/communication between staff, patients and family when there is uncertainty of prognosis @UclanResearch #uksf2024

Hearing from Prof Gillian Mead on end of life care #uksf2024
Decision making is difficult and requires senior support to have conversations with family. Clinicians need to be aware of own biases when considering withdrawal of treatment

The National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke (2023) highlight the importance of practice and repetition of functional tasks as a key component of optimal recovery. Please share how you are increasing t... Leave an idea, borrow an idea!

Morning!! It’s the last day of the UKSF and we are still collecting your ideas of how you can work towards increasing your therapy intensity in stroke rehab! Collaborate and share on our Padlet padlet.com/rowenapadams...

Prof Harwood - Generic problems of lack of social care provision associated with new dependency and need for human help are major problems in end of life care after stroke #uksf2024

I'm recruiting for my co-production workshops with health care workers involved in stroke and cognitive assessment at #UKSF24 If interested in helping out, please get in touch or grab me in the lobby today :) we hope to run these workshops in the new year.

Great learning from Calgary on #stroke thrombectomy. Research recruiting centres ready to switch to clinical delivery on day of positive trial results. If door to puncture time >1hour, it’s too slow! #uksf2024

😴 Up to 50% of people meet the diagnostic criteria for a sleep disorder post stroke.

📈 Prevalence of insomnia post stroke is 3-4x that of general population +has significant impact on recovery +QOL.

Brief scale <16 is indicative of insomnia- neurologyopen.bmj.com/content/6/2/e0…

#UKSF24

#UKSF24 Prof Terry Quinn - excellent presentation challenging the stroke community to “zoom out”… rather than focussing in, specialising too far and working in silos. Priorities - recognising multimorbidity, frailty awareness, social determinants, rehab and life after stroke.

A cool poster about rehab groups on a stroke ward:

Prof Kwaakel - Current upper limb (UL) robotic designs are not meaningfully improving UL function - likely due to lack of adaptive improvement in motor recovery? #uksf2024
