What happens after stroke rehabilitation ends?

In this episode, occupational therapist and stroke researcher Dr. Kimberly Erler joins nurse scientist Dr. Kathryn Sabo to discuss the “post-acute care cliff”—the point where formal rehabilitation services end, but the work of recovery continues.

Together they explore:
🧠 Why stroke should be viewed as a chronic condition
🏠 The realities facing survivors and care partners after discharge
🤖 Why promising rehabilitation technologies often fail to reach everyday practice
💡 How implementation science can help bridge the gap between innovation and impact

The conversation also highlights the work of the Tedy’s Team Center of Excellence for Stroke Recovery the MGH Institute of Health Professions and the importance of interprofessional approaches to long-term recovery.

Watch the full conversation at the link in bio.
