Session overview
- Getting back to work after stroke
Going back to work after a stroke is an important goal for many but may seem impossible. Yet, in spite of impairments, a return to professional work is possible. This session provides practical help on doing this.
- Fatigue after stroke – what can we do?
Fatigue after stroke is common and debilitating. Yet despite much research, there are many unanswered questions about fatigue and how best to manage it. This session provides an overview of the topic and the important issues for both clinicians and stroke survivors.
- Physical activity – getting active without sweat and lycra!
We know that it is important that stroke survivors are active. This session will include a summary of the evidence base for physical activity, how therapists support stroke survivors to get and stay physically active.
