Mount Gambier Public Lecture

THE CHANGING BRAIN: MOVING AFTER STROKE

Presented by: Assoc Prof Brenton Hordacre - Associate Professor in Neuroscience and Rehabilitation, Adelaide University.

Stroke can be a life-changing event and remains one of the leading causes of disability. Yet the brain has a remarkable ability to recover, rewire and adapt — sometimes in surprising ways.

Join us for this engaging and accessible public lecture exploring:

•         How stroke affects the brain and body

•         The latest evidence on rehabilitation

•         The most effective ways to support recovery

•         Why recovery is still possible — even years after stroke

The lecture will also introduce the Stroke Recovery Boot Camp program currently running in Mount Gambier, providing people with stroke access to evidence-based therapy, support, and opportunities for further improvement.
