World Stroke Campaign SymposiumEnsuring Quality Care and Support After Stroke: A Call-to-ActionSponsored by: Allergan (Platinum Sponsor)
Presenters:
Overview: The intended audience for this symposium includes those policy makers and healthcare professionals involved in the provision of rehabilitation and management after stroke. It will review the converging evidence that neurorehabilitation and recovery are achievable in the long as well as the short term, and that this supports extension of the rehabilitation ‘window’ beyond the usual 3-6 months, post stroke. The audience will learn that early intensive rehabilitation improves function and quality-of-life and reduces stroke mortality and that sustained customised rehabilitation enhances / maintains early improvements for those who are motivated and able to continue. Also that caregiver burden reduces as stroke survivor independence is increased. This session will be a call-to-action’ for improved health systems to ensure long term rehabilitation of stroke survivors specifically in intensive constrained movement therapy, gait training, multi-modal spasticity management, stroke survivor and caregiver education, and regular annual stroke survivor assessment. |
