Summary
Every 45 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke. The survivors -- about five million at any given time -- face a host of physical, practical, and emotional challenges. In this compassionate guide, physicians who treat people with stroke cover the path to recovery with practical advice on treatment, rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes that can help prevent a recurrence. The authors begin by explaining how stroke occurs and how different parts of the brain are injured. They explain diagnostic tools such as CT scans and MRIs, as well as medications used to prevent and treat stroke. The authors, who are rehabilitation specialists, recommend ways that stroke survivors can heal optimally. Finally, they offer numerous suggestions to help survivors reduce the risk of another stroke, including their Stroke Savvy exercise and diet plans. Featuring stories from patients and information on promising new treatments, Life After Stroke offers hope and optimism to stroke survivors and their families
