Strokes can strike at any minute and its consequences can change lives instantly.

Despite their sudden nature, there are factors that can indicate that someone is at a higher risk of having a stroke. So how do we know if we are at risk of developing a stroke?

How neurorepair is critical for recovery

STROKE NEWS

When a stroke or traumatic brain injury occurs, the neurological structure of the brain is severely damaged, leading to a loss of functions such as speaking, writing or walking. The types of deficits depend on the location of the lesion and its severity.
Even though some damages can’t be reversed, the brain naturally initiates several mechanisms to repair itself - this is called neurorepair. Natural processes known as neurorepair and neuroplasticity can help the brain repair itself over time. So how does it work?

How AI is used to aid stroke management

STROKE NEWS

Our society thrives on using artificial intelligence (AI) and the health industry is no exception. As technology develops, new programs and algorithms have emerged to treat all types of conditions. AI has become a major tool in helping those affected by strokes. New AI breakthroughs are helping in all areas of stroke care from diagnosis to rehabilitation. So how is AI used in these areas?

Arm exercises for rehabilitation after stroke or traumatic brain injury

STROKE NEWS

After a stroke or a traumatic brain injury, patients often lose control of their arms and hands. This makes carrying out any basic task difficult without assistance.

This is why physical therapy plays an important role in rehabilitation. Physical therapists suggest the most appropriate ways to support neuroplasticity and get the brain rebuilding signals to muscles in your arms...
