Highs, Lows, And Plateaus: A Path To Recovery From Stroke

This book is a must read. It is a valuable resource for stroke survivors, anyone whose life has been affected by stroke, and health care professionals working in rehabilitation. While the focus may be on recovery from stroke, much of the information in this book could apply to traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Written in an easy to understand, conversational tone, complex topics are simplified and made meaningful through storytelling and analogies. What inspires hope is the potential for ongoing recovery. This book walks the reader along a path of recovery: from the initial injury, to the mechanisms for recovery, to the future of rehabilitation. Dismissing the negative connotations of "plateau", this book provides hope and inspiration for continuum along the path of recovery. Each step along the path is supported by basic science, concepts of neuroplasticity, and the resilience of the human spirit. 9781491862308 1491862300 0 Health & Fitness NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ca7koAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
