Abstract

Learn to confidently manage the growing number of stroke rehabilitation clients with Gillen's Stroke Rehabilitation: A Function-Based Approach, 4th Edition. Using a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, this text remains the only comprehensive, evidence-based stroke rehabilitation resource for occupational therapists. The new edition has been extensively updated with the latest information, along with more evidence-based research added to every chapter. As with previous editions, this comprehensive reference uses an application-based method that integrates background medical information, samples of functionally based evaluations, and current treatment techniques and intervention strategies. Evidence-based clinical trials and outcome studies clearly outline the basis for stroke interventions. UNIQUE! Survivor's Perspectives help readers understand the stroke rehabilitation process from the client'' point-of-view.  UNIQUE! Case studies challenge readers to apply rehabilitation concepts to realistic scenarios. UNIQUE! A multidisciplinary approach highlights discipline-specific distinctions in stroke rehabilitation among occupation and physical therapists, physicians, and speech-language pathologists. Review questions in each chapter help readers assess their understanding of rehabilitation concepts.  Key terms and chapter objectives at the beginning of each chapter help readers study more efficiently. Three new chapters broaden your understanding of stroke intervention in the areas of Using Technology to Improve Limb Function, Managing Speech and Language Deficits after Stroke, and Parenting after Stroke. Learning activities and interactive references on a companion Evolve Resources website help you review textbook content and locate additional information.

Abstract

Première cause de handicap acquis chez l’adulte, l’accident vasculaire cérébral, ou AVC, peut brutalement faire disparaître ou empêcher, de façon temporaire ou non, un grand nombre de capacités de la vie quotidienne, dans des domaines physiques ou intellectuels très divers : la marche, la déglutition, la planification, la lecture, la préhension, etc. Parce qu’il touche à des savoir-faire acquis, l’AVC peut apparaître comme une atteinte biologique du social qui en efface les effets en réinitialisant les expériences, les compétences et les dispositions, autrement dit comme un accident égalisateur qui annule les différences sociales entre individus. Pourtant, à âge égal et à gravité équivalente des lésions cérébrales, les séquelles ne seront pas les mêmes si le patient est un homme ou une femme, un ouvrier ou un cadre supérieur, si la récupération de ses capacités a une grande ou une moindre valeur aux yeux des acteurs de la rééducation, si l’AVC a laissé intact chez lui un rapport aisé ou difficile aux modalités scolaires d’apprentissage. Pour mettre en évidence et expliquer ces phénomènes, Muriel Darmon a mené une enquête approfondie dans un service de neurologie d’un hôpital universitaire et auprès des différents corps de spécialistes – kinésithérapeutes, ergothérapeutes, orthophonistes, neuropsychologues, etc. – de deux centres de rééducation. En suivant le parcours post-AVC des patients au sein de ces unités et des étonnants « plateaux techniques » conçus pour favoriser leurs réapprentissages, ce livre montre que, par-delà ce qui semble perdu, le social perdure chez les individus et résiste à l’atteinte biologique.

Abstract

Iterative learning control (ILC) has its origins in the control of processes that perform a task repetitively with a view to improving accuracy from trial to trial by using information from previous executions of the task. This brief shows how a classic application of this technique – trajectory following in robots – can be extended to neurological rehabilitation after stroke. Regaining upper limb movement is an important step in a return to independence after stroke, but the prognosis for such recovery has remained poor. Rehabilitation robotics provides the opportunity for repetitive task-oriented movement practice reflecting the importance of such intense practice demonstrated by conventional therapeutic research and motor learning theory. Until now this technique has not allowed feedback from one practice repetition to influence the next, also implicated as an important factor in therapy. The authors demonstrate how ILC can be used to adjust external functional electrical stimulation of patients’ muscles while they are repeatedly performing a task in response to the known effects of stimulation in previous repetitions. As the motor nerves and muscles of the arm reaquire the ability to convert an intention to move into a motion of accurate trajectory, force and rapidity, initially intense external stimulation can now be scaled back progressively until the fullest possible independence of movement is achieved.

Abstract

Stroke Essentials for Primary Care: A Practical Guide is a must-have resource, offering the essential, practical knowledge required to evaluate and treat stroke patients. While an indispensable guide for primary care clinicians, including family practitioners and medical internists who often assume the care of stroke patients without the aid of a neurologist (primarily in underserved areas), the information contained herein is also an invaluable resource to all physicians in training, especially residents and fellows in neurology, cardiology, and surgery, among others. Stroke Essentials for Primary Care: A Practical Guide provides the latest diagnostic and treatment information that allows for greater clinical confidence. Designed to allow easy access to essential information, most chapters include a quick summary of their content and conclusions. Chapters review information on such topics as distinguishing features of presentation, rapid determination of stroke type, prevention strategies, long-term complications, and special topics that may apply to specific populations. Targeted and easy to read, Stroke Essentials for Primary Care: A Practical Guide is an essential resource for all practitioners in primary care medicine and specialty physicians in training.
