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.

This Book Has A lot Of Good Ideas That I Am Using For My Husband Thanks

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.
