Deans' stroke musings: University of Strathclyde launching ‘cutting-edge’ stroke rehab tech centre

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

University of Strathclyde launching ‘cutting-edge’ stroke rehab tech centre

It is up to YOU to make sure that all their objectives point to 100% recovery. NOTHING LESS. You can't let stroke medical professionals decide the objectives because they will shortchange us once again.

University of Strathclyde launching ‘cutting-edge’ stroke rehab tech centre

The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow is developing a new centre for the development of rehabilitation technologies for those recovering from strokes and other illnesses.

The centre will be named the Sir Jules Thorn Centre for Co-Creation of Rehabilitation Technology.

The name comes from the Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust, which has granted £449,000 to the University’s Biomedical Rehabilitation Engineering Research Group for the new development.

The university revealed that the specialist facility will test and develop new technologies for use both at home and in leisure centres to support individuals in their recovery, with the initial focus on strokes.

Technologies will be co-created with clinicians, while recovering patients will be recruited to test out the innovations and give feedback.

The technology will make use of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods.

Part of the project will also be to work on improving their designs over time, making them more effective and more affordable.

Strathclyde biomedical engineer Philip Rowe said: “The funding will allow us to create an environment for rehabilitation innovation that will welcome hundreds of users for significantly increased, ongoing, meaningful engagement in self-directed rehabilitation.

“We have the capability and expertise to develop and simplify advanced rehabilitation technology so that it is accessible for the whole user community, including older adults and will put users at the centre of their own rehabilitation.

“The ambition is for our centre to produce the technology that will help support these people in their own rehabilitation.

“There is huge potential for industry, research and education and the leisure industry and we are designing this equipment with them in mind.”
