Then, Dr. Leora Cherney will explore the impact of aphasia on his communication and will discuss what interventions are most promising. In the third episode, Megan Fahey, a senior physical therapist will talk about how this patient can regain function in the lower extremities. Finally, Caitlin Doman, will share how she prepared this patient to transition back to their community and home environment. In all four episodes, you will also hear about new stroke research that is transforming the way we think about treatment and improving patient outcomes.
