Summary
"There is a continuing need for education about stroke and its management, both in the acute and chronic stages. This book aims to facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation which is essential if rehabilitation programmes are to be optimally effective. Here a group of health care professionals give their own perspective on the problems they encounter daily and the specific skills involved in dealing with these problems. This book will help professionals involved in the management of stroke to understand the role of other members of the rehabilitation team, and hence provide coordinated care for the patient."
