Life After Stroke – FREE monthly information and discussion sessions for people who have had strokes, their families, friends and carers.
Approximately 70% of people experience loss of arm function after a stroke, and this persists for about 40%.
Recovery of the arm is varied from person to person and is largely dependent on the initial degree of weakness and severity of stroke. This session will explore the clinical guidelines for stroke and some of the research relating to upper limb rehab at different stages of recovery.
The session will be led by Laura Smith, Senior Physiotherapist, South Bristol Rehabilitation Unit.
