Three years ago I published a post on person-centred rehabilitation based on an article. I have revised and improved it. The post is here: rehabilitationmatters.com/a-model-of-p...

A customized vestibular #rehabilitation program may be more cost-effective & beneficial for improving vertigo, balance, gait, & perceived impact of physical symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis, compared to a generic booklet-based intervention. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #neurorehab

I talk about measurement in rehabilitation, and use a non-psychometric approach that explains what validity and reliability (repeatability) are and why they are needed. I also discuss the vital importance of knowing what you want to know and why. rehabilitationmatters.com/academic-reh... #neurorehab

🧠 This month, we're diving into why neurorehabilitation must put patients first—discover why a patient-centred approach matters! Read our editorial: tinyurl.com/5n7atrd5 Plus: Our featured Insight explores how neurorehabilitation could lead the shift toward systems medicine: tinyurl.com/yjjhah4b

With the global burden of neurological disease and acquired brain injury rising, neurorehabilitation becomes ever more important. An article published in our last issue, tests the safety and and effectiveness of the Walk ‘n Watch exercise protocol for stroke rehabilitation: tinyurl.com/y4sjwbf7

DW. Practice improves function; this is a central tenet of rehabilitation. A recent trial demonstrates that a protocol to increase walking practice after stroke is effective. We must help patients practice independently without professional supervision. doi.org/10.1016/S147... #neurorehabilitation

Virtual reality appears to be a promising approach for rehabilitation. But a new Cochrane systematic review of 190 trials only found weak evidence. www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10..... I have discussed some reasons for this in an editorial. www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10..... #neuroreab

Though high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can increase neurotrophin, improve cardiovascular health, & enhance recovery after #stroke, it's rarely prescribed. Authors identified key facilitators & barriers to HIIT use in patients & #neurorehab professionals. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Recently published work found that reinforcement motor learning was impaired in individuals within 3 months after #stroke. The findings are important for optimizing #neurorehabilitation after stroke as some #rehabilitation approaches rely on reinforcement. 🧠📈 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

@deblowe.bsky.social of @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social advice on improving stroke pathways: “don’t try and reinvent the wheel”, ‘brag’ about your successes and ‘steal’ those of others. The answers are already out there @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social

Amazing talk from Gareth Owen of @wrexhamafc.co.uk at @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social today about his life after stroke. Highlighted the pivotal role that family, friends and colleagues have played in his recovery

Excellent talk from @avrildrummond1.bsky.social on importance of helping to enhance people’s #lifeafterstroke. A key actionable need is knowing what support groups are available locally. @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social

The sun always shines @welshstrokeconf.bsky.social looking forward to 2 days of CPD with colleagues 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
