While trials of the efficacy of novel drugs in acute stroke and secondary prevention are vital, there is an urgent need for greater funding for non-drug treatment and, in particular, into aspects of stroke service delivery and organisation.
Improved automated detection of embolic signals using a novel frequency filtering approach. Today, cutting-edge robotics technology is revolutionizing how stroke is diagnosed (telemedicine) and treated (robot assisted therapy).
Recent clinical trials have shown that robot-assisted therapy may help stroke patients regain arm movements, even years after a disabling stroke. A monitor attached to the robot plays a series of video games to encourage patients to extend their arms, with the assistance of the robot. Robot assisted therapy is only one tool in the arsenal for stroke rehabilitation. Robots are also assisting on the frontline to quicken the process of stroke diagnosis.
