StrokeClock 3 vs Stroke Rehab

The StrokeClock App offered by the StrokeCenter Bern, Switzerland, allows continuous monitoring of the stroke treatment workflow in Stroke Centers and Stroke Units. The time points measured (i.e. hospital arrival, start IVT) are adjustable which allows perfect adaption to local needs. The statistical tool included in the app can be used to identify critical time-consuming processes within the stroke treatment workflow. The StrokeClock App can be used in two modes: - Local mode: In local mode data is stored locally and send to a pre-specified email address (CSV file). - Dashboard mode (activated by entering user data from www.strokeclock.ch within the settings). In Dashboard Mode Data is transferred real-time to a password-protected internet accessible database: o The dashboard gives overview on the current treated patients and the actual time point within the workflow. o A statistical tool can be used to identify critical time-consuming processes within the stroke treatment workflow. o Dashboard mode allows a multiuser usage for large Stroke Centers. o Database can be exported (CSV file).

Stroke Rehab is a comprehensive clinical reference tool for healthcare professionals involved in stroke rehabilitation. Built for neurologists, stroke physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and specialist nurses. Content is based on NICE NG236 (2023), the RCP National Clinical Guideline for Stroke (2023), ESO guidelines, and over 20 key randomised controlled trials including AVERT, EXCITE, LEAPS, FLAME, FOCUS, and the Cochrane ESD meta-analysis. 8 CLINICAL DOMAINS 1. Organisation and Early Assessment MDT goal-setting within 72 hours, SMART goals, intensity targets, NIHSS, MoCA, Barthel Index, swallow screening, and continence assessment. 2. Motor Recovery and Physiotherapy Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), robot-assisted therapy, mirror therapy, mental practice, the 3-hour daily therapy target from RCP 2023, and the AVERT trial findings on early mobilisation. 3. Walking and Balance Rehabilitation LEAPS trial evidence, treadmill and overground training, functional electrical stimulation (FES) for foot drop, ankle-foot orthosis, aerobic exercise, falls prevention, and functional walking speed targets. 4. Communication and Aphasia Aphasia classification table, SALT intensity targets (45 min/day), constraint-induced aphasia therapy, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), dysarthria management, and dysphagia assessment including IDDSI texture levels and PEG timing. 5. Cognition, Mood and Fatigue Post-stroke cognitive impairment screening (MoCA), cognitive rehabilitation strategies, post-stroke depression (PHQ-9, HADS), emotionalism, anxiety, and a dedicated fatigue management section reflecting the new NICE NG236 2023 guidance. 6.

Community Discharge and Early Supported Discharge (ESD) ESD eligibility criteria based on the Cochrane ESD meta-analysis (2017), pre-discharge checklist, driving and DVLA guidance, return to work (new NICE NG236 2023 section), telerehabilitation, annual review, and carer support. 8. Assessment Scales and Outcome Measures Complete reference for modified Rankin Scale (mRS 0-6), Barthel Index with dependency thresholds, Fugl-Meyer Assessment with MCID values, NIHSS severity banding, MoCA, FIM, Rivermead Motor Assessment, and SSNAP.
