Many survivors of stroke return to living in the community with chronic and complex health needs that are often left unmet. Current stroke rehabilitation is typically hospital-based, time-limited and applies standard therapy despite varying outcomes for each person.
If you are having difficulty using your affected arm following your stroke
and have goals that you would like to achieve, then
TAILOR & CONNECT is FOR YOU
 
                            We will TAILOR Upper Limb Therapy based on your goals and best available evidence, working in partnership with you to improve self-selected valued activities in the home. We will also CONNECT and stay connected over a crucial 12-month period of recovery, supported by new technologies and a therapy coach.
 
                            TAILOR and CONNECT Therapy Centres have been established in Adelaide, Melbourne and Newcastle for individuals with stroke who have had a stroke between 3-18 months ago and are experiencing difficulties performing activities with their affected arm and hand that they would like to work on during the Therapy Program.
 
                            Participants will each receive two Programs of Therapy that run for six weeks each and will be asked to attend 7-8 assessment sessions over a period of 12 months. Therapy is delivered in an environment of choice and can be home-based or centre-based.

TAILOR and CONNECT is a proud part of the Staying Connected program of research which aims to personalise stroke recovery and rehabilitation through new technologies for people with stroke living at home.
Staying Connected: personalising stroke recovery and rehabilitation through new technologies for people with stroke living at home is supported by funding from our National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia Ideas grant scheme. This program of research is designed to create the innovative technologies and interventions to personalise stroke recovery and rehabilitation.
