@communitystrok1 @ClinicalRehab @LTHTStrokeRehab A fantastic article that should encourage a new form of ‘virtual reality’ to support #rehabilitation. I’d call it ‘#patient reality’! In the words of a famous phrase “It refreshes [or perhaps reaches] the parts other [education] cannot reach!” @DrAndrewBateman @rehabresearchuk
I’m sitting watching @TheBBCtv #StrictlyComeDancing semifinal thinking we should promote it more as a great way to support #rehabilitation. The work of @embeddedarts is worth looking at. #danceismedicine and is a #lifestylemedicine @BritSocLM https://t.co/1LF8Xr3Gjj
