With the aim of improving the quality of support and educational material available globally on the topic of Life After Stroke, the World Stroke Academy, the Educational platform of the World Stroke Organization, invites you to participate in a free 60min webinar on the ‘Management of Post-Stroke Spasticity’. This webinar will be structured in 3 segments. The first one will introduce the personal experience of spasticity after stroke in a stroke survivor. The second will cover the topic of motor impairments and activity limitations after stroke and the third one will focus on the benefits of treating spasticity early. This activity is funded by an unrestricted educational grant from Ipsen.
This is the second webinar of the World Stroke Academy on the topic Stroke in Women, part of our #WomenInStroke initiative launched to celebrate the achievements of women in the field of stroke and increase the awareness and education around this important stroke topic.
Date and time: 4 PM CET on 21st June 2022
The webinar is to share and discuss the current state of the availability and use of digital technologies for primordial and primary stroke prevention in developed and developing countries, with the emphasis on gaps, practical issues and solutions.
Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
