EPISODE TITLE: Factors Affecting Stroke Recovery

EPISODE SUMMARY: EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, we talk with D’Youville University students, Minkshi Kareer and Victoria Purucker, and their professor, Tracy Bentley-Root about the continuum of care in brain injury recovery. We covered a wide variety of topics, including:

  • The effects of age, gender, race, and importance of proper diagnosis on short term/long term recovery and overall survivor outcomes
  • How culture & community impacts stroke recovery
  • The impact of beliefs on stroke recovery and provider roles
  • Pharmacological & Non-pharmacological interventions for treating depression symptoms following stroke and being facilitators for recovery
  • “Practice makes progress,” and the practitioner role in helping survivors and their loved ones identify gains when they might otherwise go unnoticed
  • Ensuring that survivors and care partners are given appropriate and relevant resources related to the stroke and continued stroke recovery. Practitioners can improve support strategies by reviewing the information after discharge whether at home or in outpatient settings.
  • The importance of care partner education on the recovery process for facilitating optimal survivor recovery
  • Cognitive reserve defined and the impact on recovery
  • Use of the “Poststroke Checklist to Standardize Follow-up Care for Stroke Survivors”
  • Addressing quality of life through survivor and care partner trainings that address concerns and planting seeds and providing resources for addressing possible future concerns
  • Providing post-discharge services such as respite care and overall care coordination to support better outcomes
  • We hope you enjoyed this episode of Noggins And Neurons. As always, we want to hear from you! Email us at [email protected]
