Stroke Rehabilitation Theme
Our Stroke Rehabilitation theme aims to increase the capacity of the stroke rehabilitation community to engage with and apply research findings. In doing this, we hope to produce an improvement in the delivery of care and evidence based stroke rehabilitation services for all stroke survivors.
The theme is led by Professor Marion Walker. For more information on the Stroke Rehabilitation theme and its work, please contact the Project Manager, Hazel Sayers. Projects within the theme include:
