Stroke Research  

Researchers at Kessler Foundation strive to improve stroke rehabilitative care by implementing new interventions during inpatient rehabilitation, exploring ways of improving mobility, and finding ways to detect and treat spatial neglect.

Home-based Clinician Support for Caregivers of Stroke Survivors with Spatial Neglect

This study evaluates the impact of a home-based program that allows family members to actively interact with clinicians while helping the stroke survivor perform activities and manage disabilities related to spatial neglect.
