Extract

Recovery After Stroke. Michael P. Barnes, Bruce H. Dobkin, and Julien Bogousslavsky, (Eds.). 2005. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 656 pp., $170.00 (HB).

Recovery after Stroke is an edited book (656 pages), and its contributors hale mostly from the United Kingdom and Western Europe. The title might suggest a focus on rehabilitation and treatment, but the contents extend well beyond, and include the neuroanatomic foundations of stroke syndromes as well as their “natural” course of recovery. The book is quite clearly intended for a general, multidisciplinary audience. As such, it covers a wide variety of topics such as spasticity/pain, imbalance and gait disorders, sleep disorders, incontinence, dysphagia, and the theory and practice of physical rehabilitation. More systemically, there are chapters addressing the principals of vocational rehabilitation, community rehabilitation, and sexual relationships after stroke.
