| Summary: | The evaluation of the efficiency of long-term rehabilitation programs for stroke patients is becoming increasingly important in the search for cost-effective treatment. This book reviews methods of evaluation of impairment and disability of stroke patients, and introduces two newly standardized evaluation tools, the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (AIAS) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Prognostication in stroke patients is also reviewed and discussed, including recent advances using these evaluation tools. This work is a state-of-the-art review of stroke evaluation and prognostication, as well as a presentation of new ideas and ongoing research in the field. Contributions by active, world-renowned researchers enhance the value of this book. Readers are not only provided with a well-organized overview of the subject, but also receive the benefit of the latest advances. |
