I can't say enough about how Stronger After Stroke has influenced my life after my stroke four years ago. This isn't just a book about stroke recovery. It is stroke recovery in microcosm, an essential part no less important than any activity you'll ever do or piece of equipment you'll ever have. Every stroke and every stroke victim is different, but each stroke victim can come away from this book understanding what stroke recovery is, able to tailor their own unique start point for recovery or able to carry recovery on through to completion once begun. Only some of the highlights I've gleaned are:
Recovery is hard work. That's the overriding theme of this book and the author hammers away at it relentlessly, using such phrases as "Challenge Equals Recovery" and "Push the Issue" He understands far more than anybody else what stroke recovery really means and what it requires. I was in the Army infantry and involved in sports all my life, but recovery is the very toughest thing I've ever done. Beginning stroke recoverers need to be prepared for what's coming and informed that anything less than full commitment is really just a waste of time. Stronger After Stroke does that, and that alone is a crucial service.
Background concepts and latest research findings. Neuroplasticity is the foundation behind stroke recovery and its effect on the medical and scientific worlds is nothing less than revolutionary. The author explains neuroplasticity clearly and completely, interspersing examples of it throughout the text along with many other vital concepts such as synergistic movement, spasticity, learned nonuse and the 4 phases of recovery. The reading may flow easily but you'll come away with a comprehensive understanding of stroke recovery thinking and terminology.
