Combining Robotic & Assistive Technologies To Improve Outcomes: A Pilot Study Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke is the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Unfortunately, many survivors experience upper extremity (UE) impairment with few rehabilitation opportunities, secondary to a lack of voluntary muscle control. We developed a novel UE rehabilitation paradigm (TDS-HM) that uses a Tongue Drive System (TDS) to control a robotic device (HandMentor: HM), encouraging active learning through a game-like user interface. We hypothesize TDS-HM training will improve motor performance, reduce UE impairment, and improve quality of life in stroke survivors.

Caregiver Factors in Stroke: Are they the Missing Piece of the Puzzle?
Stroke is a major global health problem and a leading cause of long-term disability. As healthcare professionals working with these patients, we work closely with their caregivers because we recognize the crucial role they play in our patients' recovery. Increasingly, the effect of patient factors on caregiver outcomes is being studied. However, the effect of the reverse relationship of caregiver factors on patient outcomes has received much less attention although there is evidence that social and family support can positively (and sometimes negatively) affect patient outcomes.

Preventing Recurrent Stroke
A stroke is like a heart attack in your brain. Recognizing the signs of a stroke is very important, especially for people who have already had a stroke. Recurrent strokes are often associated with greater disability and higher death rates.
