The innovative stroke recovery plans included in this easy-to-use, portable workbook are based on the most effective, tested science on how to maximize your gains. Cheerful illustrations make the workbook eye pleasing, and convenient fill-in forms enable the stroke survivor and/or caregiver to keep track of all the stroke survivor's progress day by day. Blank plans are also enclosed to let you fill in the recommendations of healthcare pros or therapists, and even design your own special recovery plans if you wish.

Format:Perfect Paperback
Almost 20 years ago I was graduated from physical therapy and told there would be no further improvement. So glad times have changed. I like that the book does not accept limits on the extent of potential recovery or the time within which recovery can still occur. Breaking down exercises into parts that can be accomplished and intensified with a workbook for setting goals, recording compliance, and measuring results seems like a good way to develop a habit of working towards recovery consistently. The records should be positive reinforcement of achievements that might seem minimal except when viewed over time in a log. I haven't stared the suggested program yet, but the book and the potential for recovery inspire me to concentrate and implement on a plan for recovery.

Stroke Recovery May 11, 2010
By Nancy
Format:Perfect Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found the exercises in this book to be too hard for me. I have regained a lot of function, but still have a lot of weakness on the left side. This is not a criticism of this book - just a note that you must have a lot of function - if not, it's very frustrating.
