Bradford UK healthcare professionals receive cash to devise better long-term stroke care

You will need to get involved because they will not choose the best way to handle long-term care.
First you have to decide if prevention of disability is the way to go. That would mean solving and stopping the neuronal cascade of death. Less dead and damaged neurons means less disability to contend with.  These 177 possibilities need research.
If you want to handle the existing people with disability then you need to figure out exactly how neuroplasticity works. How does the neighboring neuron know to help with a task?
Existing therapies in long-term cases barely help. Make sure they don't go down that failed route.
