Your Hero Karen Malone Black And White edition

This book is dedicated to the stroke survivors both near and far who I have had the privilege of working with over my entire career. I also dedicate this book to my previous students as far away as China who welcomed the opportunity to learn effective stroke rehabilitation techniques. This book is for anyone who wants to know a great place to start when developing a stroke rehabilitation program. This is not a stroke exercise book nor a medical explanation of stroke. This book is intended to be an eye opener. It is a book to help explain how the body moves when there has been no neurological injury. Why consider these things? Because I believe stroke exercises, whatever kind is chosen, should be about helping stroke survivors function at their highest level. Rehabilitation should help open up new pathways for ongoing recovery. Learning how the body moved before the stroke gives direction in how movement needs to be regained. I believe when it comes to regaining more normal function after a stroke...there is a Hero.
