Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
"This is an important contribution to the clinical literature on post-strokerehabilitation as it brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive survey of the most important topics. The use of the complete spectrum of care model helps clinicians become well versed with the approach to patient care at a holistic level, and allows clinician-researchers to stay up to date with the latest and greatest discoveries and concepts that are emerging in this area."- Doody's Reviews 4 Stars"Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitationis an outstanding and unique text that stands out in its emphasis on clinical trials regarding rehabilitation interventions, its comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, and its inclusion of an international perspective. It clearly deserves a spot on your bookshelf, and you will find yourself referring to it frequently. This book not only captures the recent changes in our understanding of stroke-and recovery-but also does so with an impressive cast of specialists. This is an impressive and very readable text. I enjoyed its scope, its evidence-based approach, the breadth of expertise in stroke rehabilitation, and its ability to provide very practical guidance for clinicians. The chapters are clear, a pleasure to read with excellent illustrations, provide practical information, and have up-to-date references. It effectively covers not only stroke basic science, anatomy, and neurophysiology of recovery but also the latest in rehabilitation treatment options, with timely insights into rapidly changing fields such as, for example, robotics. The editors have succeeded in providing a comprehensive view to help us understand where we have come from, where we are, and what needs to be done regarding stroke rehabilitation and recovery research. This is an invaluable reference, and I plan on encouraging my colleagues and students to read it."-American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, July, 2010(Doody's Reviews 4 Stars2010-05-03)
