A project for post-stroke rehabilitation is underway in Rome

(ANSA) – ROME, OCTOBER 28 – The “Previctus”, a study for the personalization of post-stroke rehabilitation, kicks off at the Irccs San Raffaele in Rome. The initiative aims to study and fine-tune the range of instrumental examinations and clinical evaluation scales, which can predict the final level of recovery and to cut out, “almost with a tailored action, the best rehabilitation activities on each patient “, explains Paolo Maria Rossini, head of the Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation Department of IRCCS.

“This – he adds – will involve the identification of biomarkers and the possibility of making the most of the patient’s ability to take care of the activities of the damaged regions of the nervous system, through the activation of alternative circuits and structures or the awakening of areas and connections” fallen asleep from the stroke, but not destroyed “.

In its first year, the project will focus on a hundred patients, whose cases will be studied using advanced methods and scales for evaluating the function of the hand and arm.

“These patients will then be followed over time in order to be able to fully assess the level of recovery. In the following year, the biomarkers that have proved more accurate in predicting the future trend, will be used to prepare a panel of standard and standard rehabilitation treatments. robotics to ‘personalize’ the rehabilitation process as much as possible “.
