A comprehensive review of aphasia and apraxia post stroke that includes both therapy-based and drug-based interventions.
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) affects a significant number of individuals with stroke. The present review focuses on interventions to improve USN either by increasing patient's awareness of or attention to the neglected space or remediating deficits of position sense or body orientation.
This review provides information regarding the importance and impact of cognitive impairment and delirium post stroke. Treatment interventions are reviewed and levels of evidence assigned.
This review provides a complete discussion of the current literature on hemiplegic shoulder pain and complex regional pain syndrome post stroke. Levels of evidence are provided to clarify research based recommendations.
In this review, rehabilitation therapies of upper extremity deficits are summarized, the current literature describes and assesses randomized controlled trials for these therapies, and conclusions about interventions' efficacy are made.
This review contrasts the compensatory and restorative approaches to lower extremity rehabilitation. Literature pertaining to specific treatments is summarized and recommendations are made based on levels of evidence.
Secondary prevention should be regarded as an integral part of stroke rehabilitation. The present review provides information regarding management of modifiable risk factors, treatment of atherosclerosis and cardiac abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation and reperfusion techniques.
This review details the outpatient stroke rehabilitation dialogue comparing hospital-based, community-based and early supported discharge models.
Interdisciplinary stroke rehabilitation is a multifaceted approach of fostering stroke recovery. This review examines specific aspects of stroke rehabilitation for efficacy.
The variety of stroke rehabilitation units and systems requires their measurement for efficacy. This chapter presents evidence comparing various stroke rehabilitation models.
