Advanced practice physiotherapist in stroke rehabilitation. Also interested in older adult rehabilitation, implementation science and clinical informatics.
Hello stroke rehabilitation tweeps, what online stroke resources do you recommend for therapist learning (free or paid)? I'm putting together a list of resources for my team. Thank you
Another paper from @SarahKAshcroft PhD which has important implications for prescribing HIIT after stroke. High Intensity Interval Training POst-STroke (HIIT-POST): Perspectives of People Living With Stroke and Health Professionals https://t.co/1fhNf3SmM4
Tailored Exercise Prescription for Older Adults: Evidence-Based Guidelines
Older adults benefit immensely from customized exercise programs addressing strength, balance, and aerobic capacity.
Here’s how to design an effective, safe, and impactful program. 🧵
Swearing provides a means by which to improve physical performance in relatively short, intense physical tasks, such as testing grip strength and completing push-ups to fatigue.

What a treat (not a trick!) in the inbox this morning...
Our systematic review on the effects of strength training in people with #stroke has now been published in @BJSM_BMJ!

Hey stroke clinicians and researchers. I'm looking for articles that deal with perceptual difficulties post stroke and interventions to improve them. Especially finding midline and inattention, but open to anything. Thanks in advance @stroke_ed@pt_neuro@saeboukglyn
Summary of wk1 intensive upper limb group: 4 pts have achieved a collective, incredible 24,265 reps so far!!! All have started to use their arm in daily life, have had at least 3 rounds of exercise progressions and are still smiling! Here’s to week 2!
Fantastic days 2&3 of Lower Limb course. Informative & evidence based lectures to further understand the biomechanics and kinematics of sit to stand, standing and walking. Followed by putting theory into practice with patient volunteers. @stroke_ed#Stroke#Neurorehablitation
Complex to Simple. Not the other way around.
A great coach once told me that good coaches take complex ideas and make them simple, while a bad coach who wants to appear like they know what they are doing takes ideas and concepts and makes them more complex.
Have you read:
“Effects of physical exercise on physical function in older adults in residential care: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials”
You should!
Here’s a 🧵
We’ve cracked the ton! 💯
Our 2022 review on minimal-dose resistance training strategies has been cited 100 times (according to Google Scholar).
We wrote this review to summarise the evidence resistance training can still be effective in:
- Small doses
- When done infrequently
- And with minimal-to-no equipment
The common barriers to resistance training of time, complexity, and difficulty needn’t be the case!

New PhD paper: physical design of hospital rooms using VR impacts directly on stroke responses. Must not exclude the physical environment in stroke care and recovery. Big thanks to stroke survivors and collaborators involved 👏🏥🛌 https://t.co/2siEUiuSov
💡 Following a stroke, this client lost the use of her left arm, however she wanted to continue knitting. She asked REMAP for an aid that might make this possible, and an engineer created this incredible solution! 🧶
