Find out what to expect when you begin your stroke recovery journey.
Speech after stroke recovery study
Dysarthria is a type of speech problem. This research aims to understand the recovery from this speech problem, and how to measure it. This can lead the way for better treatments and care to be developed.
Improving our prediction of recovering language abilities after stroke
PLORAS provides new stroke patients that have aphasia with information on how other patients, with the same type of stroke damage, recovered over time.
Aphasia recovery
Aphasia is a long-term condition and many people will continue to need support for several years after its onset. However, with the right tools and support, even someone with severe aphasia can continue to communicate effectively.
Can we predict how people with aphasia after stroke will respond to speech and language therapy?
The project aims to employ similar techniques to the PLORAS project to predict which patients are most suited to which speech and language therapy.

Inflammation following stroke is highly damaging to brain cells. Can stem cells be used to reduce the damage of inflammation after stroke and promote brain repair?
Can we improve predictions of upper limb recovery after stroke with brain imaging?
This study will look at how well a patient can use their arm after stroke, and at their brain images recorded within 72-hours after stroke.
Can we transform stem cells to promote recovery after stroke?
This study will investigate whether adult stem cells can be transformed and used to reduce inflammation in the brain after stroke, and promote recovery.
