So proud to share our new publication in @JPhysiother!

We investigate stakeholder perspectives & experiences related to #CIMT in this systematic review, which will support adoption of this effective intervention across #strokerehab

@cdkempson @aneurophysio @apaphysio @JPhysiother @cdkempson I did a blog post for the @strokefdn a few years ago- this might give you more info on if it’s appropriate for you. https://t.co/G8rJ5yyFXF

Back in October at the @apaphysio Ignite2023 conference, I had the opportunity to sit down with @JPhysiother Editor Mark Elkins to record a podcast on our mixed methods systematic review for stakeholder perceptions and experiences CIMT after stroke.

[Ashan Weerakkody @AshanNeuroPT]

@cdkempson @aneurophysio @apaphysio @JPhysiother @cdkempson it is, but our study confirmed that many physios and OTs don’t have the knowledge or confidence to provide it (which is slowly improving)
We’ve submitted another publication on stroke survivors and carer experiences, with lived experience input.

[Ashan Weerakkody @AshanNeuroPT]

The recorded podcast has now been released part of the Conference Conversations series, supported by the Physiotherapy Research Foundation

#neurophysio #strokerehab #cimt #ebp

[Ashan Weerakkody @AshanNeuroPT]

In our conversation, I discuss the main themes generated from our review, discuss the implications for clinical practice, and give my opinion on where the research for CIMT needs to head for stroke survivors to receive best practice upper limb therapy according to the evidence.

@TaminaLevy @aneurophysio @LucyKLewis @FlindersCFI @SallyVuu Great work @TaminaLevy! Look forward to seeing your future work in this space.

Our SR has shown that, to date, there are no rigorously developed toolkits promoting physical activity in people with chronic conditions (as recommended by the WHO in 2003!).
