DW Cost-efficiency data for rehabilitation is complex & difficult to collect. Natasha Lannin et al. replicated UK studies, finding similar global savings. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/12/… The challenge is to transfer Social Service care budget savings to Healthcare rehabilitation budgets.
DW. Self-rehabilitation is practising and adapting without a professional present; it typically follows advice from a professional. A systematic review finds individual practice as effective as practising with a therapist. doi.org/10.1177/154596…
Was great to chat to @OzCvA about the benefits of engaging more broadly in CV research and the part(s) we can all play
#ESOC2025 And next up in large trials session is @NatashaLannin to present final results from the HOME trial of occupational therapy home visits. Huge audience!
Results from the HOME-Rehab trial, presented at #ESOC2025, show that occupational therapy home visits after stroke do not significantly improve post-discharge participation in people who received in-hospital planning support #StrokeRecovery #VoiceOfStroke #StrokeCare #CVT
Many thanks to @NatashaLannin for taking the time to speak with us today at #ESOC2025. She shared findings from the HOME-REHAB study. The full interview is coming soon to VJNeurology.com📹 #voiceofstroke #stroke @ESOstroke
