THRILLED! 🤩

This is such a well-deserved honour to see Dr Dina Brooks recognized with a @YWCA_Hamilton Women of Distinction award.
Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners 🌟✨

[MacStroke Canada @MacstrokeCan]

Glad to work with @adriaquigley @DocMarkBayley @canstroke to advance research in understanding why women have been underrepresented in stroke trials and what we can do about it

[CanStroke Recovery Trials @canstroke]

Women have traditionally been underrepresented in stroke RCTs, accounting for only 38.8% of participants. Two ongoing trials at CanStroke are looking to change that. @DocMarkBayley @adriaquigley @MacstrokeCan

Our intervention teams love this tool and ensures they are in the target HR zones! We developed and implemented this in a current #exercise #trial. We hope it's helpful to the field! #HIIT The code is available to download at: https://t.co/pVHEn1Vzs0
