A Helping Hand: The Use of a Virtual-Reality Approach To Improve Limb Function After Stroke
Layman description:
The consequences of stroke are long-term and insidious. One of the most commonly reported effects is upper limb impairment. Current approaches to rehabilitation are moderately effective, relatively low in adherence, and oftentimes fail to generalise to activities of daily living outside of the clinic. Throughout the course of this project, we hope to develop an engaging, volitional approach to post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation. By working together with industry leaders, our objective is to create an effective yet easy-to-use rehabilitation framework that allows patients to make meaningful and long-lasting progress in their rehabilitative journey.

The Bangor Science Festival, a key event during British Science Week organised by the British Science Association, was designed to inspire and excite young people about science. Its objectives included empowering young citizens and nurturing the next generation of scientists and engineers. The festival also aimed to improve public access to research and encourage discussions about scientific methods, their results, and their broader implications for society.
