Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation

Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive reference that connects the neurophysiology of stroke with clinical treatments and interventions for functional recovery. Featuring contributions from more than 100 specialists across the field, the volume brings together scientific foundations and multi-specialty clinical perspectives.

The book explains how clinicians assess and manage both acute and long-term post-stroke impairments and secondary complications. It examines cognitive dysfunctions, musculoskeletal pain, motor deficits, and psychological issues alongside functional assessment and rehabilitative therapies.

Beyond direct impairment management, the text explores stroke epidemiology, risk factors, and prevention strategies. It also discusses levels of rehabilitative care, ethical questions, and the family and community reintegration of stroke survivors.
