ABOUT

STROKE ENGINE

Welcome to Stroke Engine, a site for individuals who have experienced stroke, their families and health professionals who work in the field of stroke rehabilitation. Stroke Engine has been developed with the support of the Canadian Stroke Network to support the use of evidence-based stroke rehabilitation in clinical practice. Stroke Engine is recognized for its scientific rigor by the Canadian Cochrane Center. We receive over 300,000 visitors each year including clinicians, researchers, academics, teachers, students, patients with stroke and their family/friends.

We are pleased to offer three unique sites:

1. Stroke Engine Family is for those who have had a stroke, as well as their family and friends, and uses real-life stories to provide evidence-based information and answer questions about the stages of recovery from stroke.
2. Stroke Engine Intervention is for clinicians and offers a detailed review of the effectiveness of over 40 stroke rehabilitation interventions. Best practice guidelines, practical guides and e-learning modules are also being added to further assist clinicians.
3. Stroke Engine Assess is for clinicians and offers a detailed review of over 60 assessment tools useful in stroke rehabilitation

We hope that you find the sites helpful and we welcome your feedback and requests to ensure that the sites provide current, useful information for our readers.
