About this listen

Now in its third edition, Stronger After Stroke gives the power of recovery to the listeners by providing simple-to-follow instructions for reaching the highest possible level of recovery. The audiobook's neuroplastic recovery model stresses repetition of task-specific practice, proper scheduling of practice, setting goals, and measuring progress to achieve optimal results. Researcher Peter G. Levine breaks down the science and gives survivors evidence-based tools to retrain the brain and take charge of recovery.

Stronger After Stroke introduces listeners to leading-edge stroke recovery information while simplifying the process to attain specific benchmarks. Also included is a sample recovery schedule, a helpful glossary of frequently used stroke recovery terms, and a list of resources for listeners to research emerging stroke recovery options.

The new third edition of Stronger After Stroke features:

  • Complete update of all chapters to reflect new knowledge about maximizing recovery
  • The latest research insights applied to individual recovery programs
  • Steps to cope with challenges at each stage of recovery and achieve success
  • Strategies to save time and money
  • New chapters on using electrical stimulation, reducing post-stroke pain, and understanding spasticity

Particularly liked the ‘use it or lose it’ ethos where it’s up to stroke survivor to work hard in rehabilitation to achieve maximum recovery. I also luke how the author encourages safety and managing fatigue whilst on this journey to get best results. About to listen a second time to bed down the learnings.
