Description
The first comprehensive text on occupational therapy management of the CVA patient! Containing the most up-to-date research on stroke rehabilitation without losing a holistic perspective, it combines aspects of background medical information, a critical review and samples of functionally based evaluations, treatment techniques and interventions. The text contains chapters on specific functional aspects of living after a stroke, such as driving, sexuality, leisure, instrumental ADL, mobility and gait, and self-care. In addition, it highlights function-based approaches to working with patients who have balance dysfunction, upper extremity impairment(s), and neurobehavioral deficits. This is an essential educational tool in several settings, including home care, hospitals, community programs and other outpatient programs and long-term care facilities.
* The only comprehensive occupational therapy book on stroke that emphasizes a holistic approach to rehabilitation. * Features up-to-date coverage of all aspects of stroke rehabilitation including: evaluation, treatment, psychosocial aspects, administrative information, and documentation. * Other key topics include medical management, total quality management, learning strategies, neurobehavioral deficits, and much more. * Focuses on all disabilities in stroke rehabilitation as they relate to function. * Chapters cover the continuum of carefrom the acute setting to the home care/community-based setting. * Includes standardized evaluations that focus on disability and handicaps associated with stroke, as opposed to impairments. * Pedagogy includes: key terms, chapter objectives, review questions, COTA considerations (information specific to the COTA), suggested readings, and glossary. * Case studies appear throughout the chapters. * A useful drug reference chart specific to the medical management of stroke appears on the endsheets. * Instructor's Manual includes lab activities, test questions and teaching strategies.
