Description

Professor Gail Robinson has developed a new diagnostic tool to assess cognitive function in post-stroke patients called The Brief Executive Language Screening Test (BELS). This brief 20-minute test, can predict how much a stroke patient will recover to function independently in their first year.

In this informative podcast, Professor Robinson discusses:

  • Stroke symptoms and causes
  • Warning signs of a stroke
  • The window that the BELS test can be taken to best inform recovery
  • The typical clinical pathway of a stroke patient
  • Lifestyle factors that can cause a stroke
