New book offers new hope for stroke survivors From: Press Release With decades of experience in neuroplasticity and emerging medical technologies, Anne Burleigh Jacobs, PT, PhD is convinced that better assisting stroke survivors begins with a change in attitude from the medical community. Jacobs new book, "Highs, Lows, and Plateaus: a path to recovery from stroke" is an easy-to-understand guide to recovery after a stroke or brain injury. It challenges health care professionals who concentrate on helping patients to cope rather than understand their condition and explores breakthrough treatment options. "The book provides hope and inspiration for continuum along the path of recovery,” Jacobs said. “Each step along the path is supported by basic science, concepts of neuroplasticity and the resilience of the human spirit." Topics discussed include but are not limited to warning signs of a stroke, emergency treatment of a stroke, potential of the brain and nervous system to reorganize and recover and lastly a variety of treatment techniques as well as mechanical, robotic, and bionic tools that Jacobs believes are the future of rehabilitation.
