Abstract
The
Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable (SRRR) meetings bring
together an international group of preclinical and clinical researchers
along with statisticians, methodologists, funders and consumers, working
to accelerate the development of effective treatments(I'm sure my defintion of effective is vastly different than your definition. Ask a survivor which definition should be used.) for stroke
recovery and to support best-evidence uptake in rehabilitation practice.
The first meeting (2016) focused on four recommendation areas:
translation of preclinical evidence into human discovery trials;
recovery biomarkers to provide knowledge of therapeutic targets and
prognosis in human stroke; intervention development, monitoring, and
reporting standards; and standardized measurement in motor recovery
trials. The impact of SRRR is growing, with uptake of recommendations
emerging, and funders exploring ways to incorporate research targets and
recommendations. At our second meeting (SRRR2, 2018), we worked on new
priority areas: (1) cognitive impairment, (2) standardizing metrics for
measuring quality of movement, (3) improving development of recovery
trials, and (4) moving evidence-based treatments into practice. To
accelerate progress towards breakthrough treatments, formation of an
International Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Alliance is our next
step, where working groups will take recommendations and build
partnerships needed to achieve our goals.
