Going away this summer? You can still participate in a clinical trial. ✈️ Thanks to telehealth, local labs, and hybrid study models, research is more flexible than ever. Ask your coordinator how travel fits in, and don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a breakthrough.

A virtually-delivered program with upper limb exercise, feedback from a wearable device, and therapist support was shown to increase average daily reach-to-grasp counts in individuals < 1 year after #stroke in this multi-site randomized controlled trial, supporting the potential value of this approach for increasing real-world upper limb activity post-stroke. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful… #neurorehabilitation #rehabilitation #neurotwitter @canstroke

Launching today, the world’s first multisector advocacy movement dedicated to stroke - the Global Stroke Action Coalition - has issued an urgent call to action to address growing inequities in stroke. Already a leading cause of death and disability, without intervention, the global burden of stroke is projected to rise by a further 50% over the next 25 years, claiming 100 million lives and costing US$1.6 trillion each year. #StrokeActionNow Policy Report - strokeactioncoalition.org/do… @BoNorrving @jeyaraj_pandian @sheilambrasil @strokeaction_RW @MelindaRoaldsen @ESOstroke @American_Stroke @marchofdimescda @TheStrokeAssoc @svinsociety @SAHeartStroke APSO

What is going to change by doing things together? This is the question the #CTSummit2025 asked us to reflect on and learn from each other. The answer: We transform what it means to work together on clinical trials as researchers, patient partners, professionals, and Indigenous health leaders. #ClinicalTrialTraining #PatientEngagement
