Today, Lucia Alonsos 6-year-old son is talking and going to school. It didnt always seem so hopeful. At 14 months, she says he stopped using the few words he knew and avoided eye contact. Her sons doctor recommended a treatment called ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis. Alonso credits that treatment for helping to slowly bring back her sons social interaction. Theres one big problemshe cant pay for it. "Everyday people like us cant afford to spend three to four hundred a week on therapy, Alonso said.

ARDSLEY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today announced that data showing treatment with dalfampridine improved motor function in a preclinical model of post-stroke deficits have been published online ahead of print on May 7th in Stroke, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association. The data will be included in the July 2013 print edition of Stroke. Dalfampridine is the active ingredient in AMPYRA (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg. These preclinical data showed that dalfampridine can improve motor function long after a stroke, when the natural recovery process has ended and stable deficits are likely to persist over time. The results informed our decision to conduct a recently completed proof-of-concept study in humans, which indicated that dalfampridine improved walking in people with post-stroke deficits, said Andrew R. Blight, Ph.D., Acorda Therapeutics Chief Scientific Officer. More than half of the nearly seven million people in the United States who live with the long term effects of a stroke have lasting mobility impairment, but there are no established treatments other than physical therapy to address these impairments. New therapies are needed, and we are moving forward with development of dalfampridine extended release tablets in this indication. The paper, entitled … Continue reading →

Every few years, we see breakthroughs in the medical and health community, as well as in the wireless and telecom industry. We are just in the early stages of a technology revolution that will help stroke survivors. Visit the iTunes App Store or Google Play and take a look. Believe it or not, today there are stroke apps. Yes that's right, there's an app for that -- several of them as a matter of fact. May is National Stroke Awareness month. I like to follow the technology advancements for stroke prevention and treatment -- and the companies making them -- because I have been a stroke survivor for nine years. We don't realize it on a daily basis, but things advance as quickly in the medical and health industries as in wireless and communications. If I had my stroke today rather than nine years ago, there would be much more help at my fingertips. My stroke occurred in 2004. As advanced as the medical community had become by then, it was very distant from where it is today. Doctors struggled with too many questions and offered me very few answers. They simply didn't know. Plus, they were not counselors, so … Continue reading →
