Product Description
Review
""The book is well structured. It provides easily applicable treatment guidlines, backed up by a strong evidence base and an extensive up to date reference list. I would recommend this book for any neurological physiotherapy service."" "Ruth O'Cnnell", Phsiotherapy Ireland
Product Description
Previously published as "A Motor Relearning Programme for Stroke", the authors have produced a completely revised and updated version of this essential guide to task - and context-specific exercise and training for the optimal functional recovery of stroke patients. The guidelines are based on scientific rationale and the latest clinical research and cover a range of critical everyday actions, while the modern and accessible format with many new photographs and line drawings ensures maximum clarity and practicality. Written by two acknowledged experts in their field, "Stroke Rehabilitation" presents Carr and Shepherd's internationally respected system of stroke rehabilitation. The clear and comprehensive linking of science and clinical practice make this an indispensable volume for physiotherapists, occupational therapists and all those involved in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke.

Illumination by luminaries
7 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
Carr and Shepherd are legitimate luminaries in the field of stroke rehabilitation and research. They were the first to dovetail modern motor learning with stroke recovery and rehabilitation. For those of us interested in stroke recovery and rehabilitation research, this book (dare I say it) is actually a page turner. Most books I read about stroke recovery and rehabilitation leave me scratching my head because I don't understand what the authors say, and when I do understand, it does not resonate. I've been involved in stroke specific rehabilitation research for a decade and I've co-authored many articles in peer-reviewed journals. So when I read something and it doesn't make sense to me I figure I don't understand it because it just plain doesn't make sense.
This book however not only provides great, incisive, clear and usable ideas for treatment of stroke survivors, it references it's suggestions as well. Much of the book is dedicated to individual exercises. And although this may be of paramount interest to therapists I was much more interested in the global insights available in this book. I found myself highlighting the heck out of much of this book. That's always a good sign.

got exactly what i ordered
28 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
It took awhile for the book to arrive, but I wasn't in a hurry to have it, so that was okay. Otherwise, the book was in perfect condition, and I have no complaints.
