Synopsis

Stroke is the major cause of disability in the elderly population and a rare but potentially devasating event in the young. For years there had been relatively little change in treatment or outcome, but now the new thrombolytic drugs are beginning to change this. If a stroke is recognized in time, it is now possible to reverse it quickly. This book presents new thinking about stroke that shows each professional's role in an integrated plan to enhance the patient's full potential for recovery. Maintaining that recovery and preventing a repeat stroke is a challenge that the physician cannot accomplish alone. This book also presents a model for involving patients in their own care after a stroke.
