Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every minute of an untreated ischemic stroke, approximately 1.9 million neurons die. For survivors, the initial medical emergency is only the beginning of a long, uncertain road. Conventional wisdom suggests that recovery hits a permanent plateau within the first year, leaving patients and families to accept a life of diminished function.This book dismantles that myth. It journeys from the critical first hours, where clot-busting drugs like tPA race to save the brain's vulnerable 'penumbra,' to the misunderstood chronic phase years later. Drawing on the work of leading neurologists and researchers, it reveals the profound science of Experience-Dependent Neuroplasticity-the brain's incredible capacity to rewire itself in response to high-dose, targeted rehabilitation.By exploring the difference between true motor recovery and simple compensation, the book explains why standard therapy often fails and how intensive, high-repetition training can shatter perceived limits. It provides a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding spasticity, cognitive fatigue, and the biological mechanisms that allow for continuous improvement long after the initial injury.Discover how the brain's map can be redrawn, and how survivors can reclaim more than just movement.…
