Ebook Stroke Unit : Stroke Rehabilitation A Function- Based Approach

---

The fourth edition of Stroke Rehabilitation: A Function-
Based Approach continues to strive to be the most up-to-
date text on this topic, incorporating state-of-the-art and

evidence-based tools and techniques to maximize function

and quality of life for those living with stroke. This edi-
tion’s contributors include expert clinicians, researchers,

and scientists from across the globe. Contributors are

experts in various disciplines, including neurology, occu-
pational therapy, physiatry, physical therapy, psychology,

and speech and language pathology.
The current text combines aspects of background

medical information, a comprehensive review of standard-
ized and nonstandardized evaluation procedures and

assessments, and evidence-based interventions. It contains
the most up-to-date research on stroke rehabilitation
from a variety of rehabilitation settings and professions
without losing its holistic perspective on the overall care
of the people whose lives we as clinicians touch.
This text has overarching themes. First and foremost,

clinicians are provided with specific suggestions to main-
tain a client-centered approach when working with stroke

survivors. Furthermore, clinicians are challenged to use
the most up-to-date treatment approaches (including both
remediation and adaptation approaches) to decrease
impairments; prevent secondary complications; improve
the client’s ability to perform meaningful activities; and,
most important, decrease participation restrictions and
improve quality of life.
Although this book is written primarily by occupational
therapists, it is an appropriate reference for a variety of

rehabilitation professionals, including physiatrists, physi-
cal therapists, speech and language pathologists, rehabili-
tation nurses, social workers, vocational counselors, and

therapeutic recreation specialists. The immense value of
an interdisciplinary team approach when working with the
stroke survivor population cannot be overestimated. This

text may also be beneficial to therapists who practice vir-
tually alone in the community or as case managers because

its research on the specific topic of stroke rehabilitation is
comprehensive. The terms patient and client have been

used interchangeably; it is recognized that stroke rehabili-
tation can take place in multiple settings.

Educators and students can use this text in the
classroom setting. Key terms, chapter objectives, review

questions, and case studies have been provided as learn-
ing tools. A text that can appeal to basic learners and

specialists alike, this book is a good investment for
any clinician who plans to work with neurologically
impaired persons—specifically, adults who have had a
stroke. This text spans the continuum of care—from
acute to long-term management—in a variety of roles
and settings.
