It is produced in conjunction with the National Rehabilitation Hospital. The rehabilitation information is supplemented with personal stories of individuals who provide eloquent and sometimes poignant -- always heroic -- testimony to the many ways people have prevailed in the face of ongoing disability. The book features a state-of-the-art consumer guide in selecting a rehabilitation program, a glossary of stroke related terms, and comprehensive listing of stroke related resources. Managing Stroke was written by healthcare professionals who work with and counsel people with stroke as a guide to living well for people who have had a stroke, their families, friends, and loved ones, as well as professionals who need an up-to-date and quick reference.
