Dr. Jennifer Sumner: The Role of Neuropsychology in Stroke Recovery

That evaluation is going to tell us how much you've improved over time and perhaps where you're going to be for a little while, and a good neuropsychologist should then provide a number of recommendations.
Ever wondered how understanding your brain can aid in stroke recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', host Bill Gasiamis chats with Dr. Jennifer Sumner, a neuropsychologist who brings clarity to the often-overlooked field of neuropsychology in stroke rehabilitation. Dr. Sumner explains how having a baseline cognitive evaluation can help track progress and pinpoint areas needing extra attention. This episode isn't just about medical jargon; it's about practical steps you can take to improve your recovery journey. Dr.
Sumner highlights the value of a multidisciplinary team that includes various specialists, ensuring that all aspects of a patient's needs are addressed. She also delves into the importance of long-term evaluations, which provide ongoing feedback and recommendations for further improvement. But it doesn't stop there. Dr. Sumner discusses the impact of diet on brain health, managing post-stroke depression and anxiety, and the power of establishing routines.
She emphasizes the need for a recovery toolbox—strategies and resources tailored to tackle different challenges during recovery. Communication and personal responsibility are also key themes, as Dr. Sumner encourages stroke survivors to take an active role in their own recovery. This episode offers valuable insights for both survivors and caregivers, reminding us that with the right tools and support, recovery is within reach.
