 At JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute in Edison, groundbreaking research is taking place to revolutionize rehabilitation for stroke patients. The Stroke Recovery Program Stroke Heart Trials goal is to improve outcomes for stroke patients around the mission. The current standard of care for outpatient stroke follow-up is physical, occupational, and speech therapy. This innovative approach includes 36 sessions of medically monitored interval cardiovascular training and regular follow-up visits with a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. Patients are also provided psychological, nutritional, and educational support as well as risk factor management. This is provided in addition to the physical, occupational, and speech therapy that's traditionally delivered to stroke patients. Preliminary data on patient outcomes has been striking. Of the 240 patients who opted out and received the standard of care, there were 46 deaths. Of the 160 who participated in the Stroke Heart Trials, there were no deaths. This research, which has been presented nationally and has been accepted for publication, is being conducted under the leadership of co-principal investigators Dr. Sara Cucarolo and Dr. Talia Fleming, whose aim is to do nothing less than change the future of stroke rehabilitation.
