Australia’s leading stroke rehabilitation trialist, APA member Julie Bernhardt completed the largest, international trial of early mobility-based rehabilitation ever conducted — the AVERT trial.

Featuring over 2000 patients from five different countries, the trial offered a unique perspective into both the burden of stroke-related disability as well as the rehabilitation interventions considered to encompass best practice.

In this podcast, Julie is joined by Associate Professor Mark Elkins, Editor of the Journal of Physiotherapy, to discuss the trajectory and significance of her work.
