Calling all #Hamiltonians! We are recruiting people who have had a stroke for our 12-week #HIIT training study for improving heart health. Please reach out if you have questions or share with anyone that may be interested. Please RT 😎🙏 MIRA McMaster McMaster PACE McMaster University

New paper in PTJ using National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) data! Findings show the need to consider sex differences in neurological rehab settings. Read more: academic.oup.com/ptj/advance-ar…

Want to learn more about TRAIL? Read about our #telerehab study looking to make lower body #rehabilitation more accessible to those with #stroke. Thanks to VCH Research Institute for the feature vchri.ca/stories/2022/0… @BMSakakibara Elise Wiley @sarahparkkkk @HSFCSR

🥳🎉 HUGE congratulations for the amazing McMaster School of Rehabilitation Science representation at the GSA Award Reception, including our very own Kenny Noguchi for receiving the Award of Excellence for Graduate Student Leadership in Athletics!

Thank you to the NHATS investigators and participants for the opportunity to conduct this study! MacStroke Canada Dina Brooks joy macdermid @BMSakakibara

Fabulous time in 🇨🇦 visiting MacStroke Canada - thanks for the warm welcome 🙏 and great visit to Toronto Rehab 🙏 Lovely to also attend #WSC2023 and catch up w friends and collaborators. Thanks Uni Newcastle Research for the external collaboration grant funding 🙏

Huge thanks from the #TRAILstudy team to everyone who attended our workshop at WFNR Tips tricks and considerations for telerehab for lower extremity rehab after stroke

Defense day is always a huge day for the lab and today was another big one. Dr Kenny Noguchi’s hard work culminated in a very successful PhD defense to cap off 10 years at McMaster 🎉🎉🎉 He’s off to UBCO next but remember Kenny, McMaster will always be where it all started!

My friends, family and labmates: Kevin Moncion, PT PhD Elise Wiley Sara Oikawa Giulia Coletta Jem Cheng Mai Wageh, Ph.D. Eric Huynh Ava Steph Saunders + countless others Thank you always for the encouragement, laughs, food, and coffees that helped me along the way.

We are so excited to introduce you to *DR* Elise Wiley! Elise successfully defended her PhD defense, her research pushing our understanding of sex and gender factors in stroke recovery. Give a little ♥️ to help congratulate Elise!

What a treat (not a trick!) in the inbox this morning... Our systematic review on the effects of strength training in people with #stroke has now been published in British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM)! doi.org/10.1136/bjspor…

This is far from the end, though. Studies have often excluded people with aphasia and cognitive impairment, and women were underrepresented (cc: Wiley 2024: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…) We need to do better in stroke recovery #trials, especially when it comes to strength training.

I'm so proud of the work that we accomplished as a true team. Thank you to my collaborators - I've learned a lot from each one of you in this process. Kevin Moncion, PT PhD Elise Wiley Eric Huynh @BalbimMoraes Marla Beauchamp Stuart Phillips (he/him) MacStroke Canada + the Twitter-less.

Just out! Put my heart into this one and I’m super proud of it. Couldn’t have done it without an all-star team Elise Wiley Kenny Noguchi Hanna Fang @macdonmj Marla Beauchamp MacStroke Canada McMaster School of Rehabilitation Science Women's Health Journal journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

NEW: Extremely thoughtful sex- and gender-based analysis of people with #stroke in the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) study by Clare Thompson (mentorship courtesy of Elise Wiley) #SGBA Both sex AND gender-based factors influence cognition in people with stroke archives-pmr.org/article/S0003-…

Excited to share our new paper examining the validity and responsiveness of the 30s chair stand test administered online in people with stroke! Tl;dr - the test showed good construct validity and responsiveness, but measures more than just strength. journals.lww.com/jnpt/abstract/…
