Stroke in Aging Populations
This session will focus on the unique challenges and considerations in geriatric stroke care, addressing epidemiology, clinical presentations, and management strategies tailored to older adults. Discussions will highlight the prevalence of stroke in aging populations, including vascular cognitive impairment, functional decline, and caregiver support. The session will explore multimodal approaches to stroke prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation, emphasizing comprehensive geriatric assessment and palliative care considerations in stroke management. By integrating insights from geriatrics, neurology, and rehabilitation medicine, this session aims to enhance clinical understanding and promote evidence-based care models that optimize outcomes and quality of life for elderly stroke survivors.
