The more stroke survivors we include, the more we understand!

What does taking part involve?

PLORAS participants:

  1. agree for PLORAS to ²¹³¦³¦±ð²õ²õÌýtheir hospital brain scan and medical records (e.g. stroke details and any speech and language therapy assessments)
  2. answer questions ²¹²ú´Ç³Ü³ÙÌý³Ù³ó±ð¾±°ù stroke recovery (approximatelyÌýevery 3-6 months)

Some participants may also be invited for optional follow-up activities.

Please note that PLORAS do not provide:

  • diagnoses
  • treatment
  • therapy recommendations

However, it is hoped that our research will help to improve the outcomes for future stroke survivors.

    How do stroke survivors take part?

    1. Most stroke survivors are referred to us via the Clinical Research Network.
    2. Stroke survivorsÌýcan refer directly to PLORAS if they are not linked to a hospital site. Please Contact Us for more information. We can tell you what kinds of strokes and symptoms we are currently including.
