The Successful Stroke Survivor is part-book and part-manual for those who have suffered a stroke and have reached the end of formal therapy.
The highly motivational approach to functional training revealed inside is a distillation of many hundreds of innovative ways created to encourage positive adaptations in the brain after stroke.
Would you like to be able to get up from the floor without any support of any kind? YES!
Would you like to tackle spasticity in your hand? YES!
Would you like to become stronger and less dependent? YES!
The Successful Stroke Survivor will show you how, and much more.
Like the author, many stroke survivors want to retrain and improve. They want techniques evolved from real-life that people in the same situations have learned and had success with… which they can easily understand, adjust to their own physical limitations and practice. Inside, stroke survivors will find out how to:
- Correct balance, co-ordination and posture over time
- Increase muscular, tendon and ligament strength over time
- Decrease muscle shortening and increase isolated movementreturn over time
- Increase confidence and remove fear of the consequences of exercising
- Become progressively more self-sufficient
- Become productive in an occupation and be happy with life
Revealed here too are many simple but effective training tools that families, carers and friends can construct, or seek out, in order to drive recoveries forward. It is a massive resource for the switched-on stroke survivor and is set to become the next 'big book' in stroke.
