Lights Mirrors Action: A Guide To Transforming the Lives of Caregivers and Stroke Survivors.
Our homes will become the rehabilitation centres of the future—but how do we convince caregivers and guide stroke survivors to complete evidence based physical programs at home?
When stroke survivors are discharged home, frustrated caregivers tend to struggle to know what physical recovery program to recommend. This leads to reduced outcomes and frustration in stroke survivors.
When quality guidance is not available, frustrated caregivers tend to err on the side of caution by keeping exercise programs to a minimum, but this advice is contrary to the 3 hours minimum physical exercises that are recommended by stroke associations worldwide.
In a world of constant new initiatives and expensive “rehabilitation centres and equipment” it is difficult to convince caregivers and their stroke survivors of the value of undertaking physical rehabilitation sessions in their own homes.
In Lights Mirrors Action, Neuroplasticity Researcher and Physical Therapist Dr. Kenneth Monaghan shares a new new way of thinking for caregivers that will positively impact their stroke survivor’s recovery. A guided practical approach to teaching caregiver confidence, this six-step approach will explain the power of our brains to recover, discover how to prime the brain before introducing innovative therapies that are suitable for inclusion in home rehabilitation programs.
