Review & Description

Course Description

The book was developed to assist facilities to put in place a stroke rehabilitation protocol that is evidence based, designed to achieve maximum functionality and improve patient quality of life. This will guide clinicians to determine the best interventions for their patients, better stratify stroke patients, reduce readmission, and optimize healthcare utilization.

The primary goals of rehabilitation are to prevent complications, minimize impairments, maximize function, and prevent stroke recurrence. Early assessment and intervention are critical to optimize rehabilitation. Standardized evaluations and valid assessment tools are essential to development of a comprehensive treatment plan. Evidence-based interventions should be based on functional goals. In stroke rehabilitation, a number of restorative therapies currently exist and others are in various stages of development. Approaches advocated for improving arm motor function including constraint-induced movement therapy, antispasticity medications, exercise, functional electrical stimulation and robotic therapy.

A recent review of randomized controlled trials indicates that restorative therapies provide improvement in function when compared to no treatment. Superiority of one type of therapy over another could not be distinguished, and therefore the specific choice of therapy was difficult to justify over another type of treatment. Consequently, there are reservations in the medical community concerning the benefit of various types of restorative therapies.

Despite evidence suggesting that rehabilitation may be useful in brain restoration and in the therapy of patients with stroke, there is little information available describing the precise nature of interventions provided by rehabilitation therapists. Identifying interventions that can improve motor function remains a priority. This book will provide an overview of the current understanding of modern rehabilitation therapies and the effects on plasticity and recovery of motor function in stroke. The book concludes with describing how the patient and the patient’s family members are essential members of the rehabilitation team. Patient and family involvement are described in detail.
