As a grad student, I'm often scrutinizing the prices and contents of my textbooks. This text approaches the occurrence of stroke from a rehabilitative standpoint. The etiology and functional sequelae are given as a requisite background, but the main focus is on treatment planning and intervention. The authors cite the latest literature in research regarding contemporary treatment approaches, as well as providing rationales for why older treatments may no longer be appropriate.

If you are an OT working with CVAs this is the book to have. So informative and comprehensive. Covers physical, cognitive and perceptual deficits. I work in a SNF and I bring this book back out when I get a CVA patient to refresh my brain. Its worth the money! One of my favorite OT books.

I originally borrowed this book from a college professor and ultimately purchased my own copy during an inpatient rehab rotation. I utilized many books in preparation for a stroke presentation, and found it to be the most comprehensive and useful tool for both my presentaion as well as my rotation. In my opinion, those therapists searching for an all inclusive, function based resource for stroke rehab would be very well served by this book. It has served me well, and has not left my side since I purchased it!

This book was an invaluable resource for planning evidence-based treatment interventions on a stroke unit at a nationally recognized rehabilitation facility. Most of the OTs working at this facility had this book as their right-hand manual. Although it wasn't part of the required reading while in graduate school, I'm so thankful I came across it during fieldwork.

This is a fantastic book for any rehabilitation therapist. Great reference on how to progress and target issues when working with a stroke recovery patient. Recommend this book 100%. Delivery of book was timely. Book shrink wrapped and in excellent condition.

I received this book in plastic wrap a couple of days after I ordered it. And it was similar in price to the used copies. Thank you!!

I have just recently ordered the book and although it looks great, there are pages missing. Pages 223-270 are missing and have not been removed, but rather it appears to have been done during the publication process. The wholeseller informed me that they did not have any new ones to exchange it with. ? I don't want to return the book, but rather want the missing pages. :( From what I have skimmed through, the book seems to be very applicable to practice.

I am always very skeptical from buying from online sources. I was therefore very pleased and happy to receive a textbook from amazon that was in mint condition and cost me much than I would have payed in a store. The package was delivered soon after placing the order and they didn't lie when they said "new" on the ordering page. I would buy again from amazon.
