Description
Every year in the UK, around 150,000 people have a stroke. It's the third most common cause of death in the UK, and also the leading cause of severe disability. As an integral part of stroke rehabilitation, physical activity can greatly enhance movement, balance and coordination whilst preventing future strokes. This therapeutic fitness programme addresses the physical, cognitive and preventative aspects. Readers are offered clear, concise exercises accompanied by tips for carers, daily exercise recommendations and a training log to track progress.
