STROKE - A practical guide towards recovery.
By Dr. Richard Langton Hewer & Dr. Derick Wade.

Stroke is one of our commonest diseases.

Every year over 100,000 people will have a stroke. Most survive but have some disability.

Dr. Richard Langton Hewer, founder of the world famous Stroke Unit at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol and Dr. Derick Wade, Consultant at Rivermead Rehabilitation Centre, Oxford, explain:

  • How much recovery of speech and movement you can expect
  • How to nurse someone who has just had a stroke
  • How to make best use of the abilities that remain
  • Which are the most useful rehabilitation aids and where further assistance can be found.
  Over 40 illustrations back up the practical information, including step by step sequences showing the correct ways to move a sick person and how to begin walking again.
