Options to facilitate stroke recovery are proliferating, but no clear consensus has emerged regarding the best approach. Robot-assisted rehabilitation, vagal nerve stimulation, functional electrical stimulation, non-invasive brain stimulation, constraint-induced movement therapy and other approaches compete for limited resources and therapy time. This session will include a case-based debate among experts regarding the best approach to facilitate stroke recovery for a range of stroke survivors with varying impairments and needs.

Learning Objectives:

List the key options for evidence-based stroke recovery therapies.
Select from among the stroke recovery treatments to choose the most appropriate option for each patient.
Identify the advantages and limitations of each stroke recovery treatment option.
