Stroke can be a major event in one's life. The costs to individuals and their families are enormous and the impact on NHS services and even the economy have been shown to be staggering. In an attempt to help health professionals cope with the large workload placed on them by stroke, a number of new assistive technologies are being developed at UEL and other leading Universities.
 
Dr Jane Burridge, is the Professor of Restorative Neuroscience at the University of Southampton and leads the development of exciting new technologies such as robotics and implantable muscle stimulators for augmenting recovery from stroke. Her work has broken new ground in the UK by using neuroscientific concepts to improve effectiveness of rehabilitation employing these new technologies.
 
Rehabilitation Robotics are also being developed and used at UEL by Professor Duncan Turner's group to similar ends.

The team will be holding an Open Day between 10am - 12pm in the Robotics Lab. at Stratford (UH220) for anyone who has an interest in how robotics may be changing the face of rehabilitation. 

All welcome, admission FREE.
