Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation: Exploring Technology and Neuromodulation Across Domains
In recent years there have been huge advances in mechanisms for rehabilitation of chronic stroke, but this research is yet to influence clinical practice. We aim to bring together researchers and clinicians from different areas of expertise (e.g. language, motor movements) to explore new rehabilitation methods holistically, learn how new advances may be applied to different domains, and how best to translate research findings into clinical practice.
For the first time, this multi-disciplinary workshop will bring together clinicians, neurologists and researchers working in different domains, with the common purpose of using cutting-edge technology and neuromodulation (e.g. tDCS) in chronic stroke rehabilitation. These techniques show promising results for rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients across several domains, but as yet this work has not been linked. The workshop will develop a multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation network based in Surrey. This is envisaged to take the form of forging new collaborations, sharing expertise and translational work.
