impressive cast of specialists... I enjoyed its scope, its evidence-based approach, the breadth of expertise in stroke rehabilitation, and its ability to provide very
practical guidance for clinicians. The chapters are clear, a pleasure to read with excellent illustrations, provide practical information, and have up-to-date
references. It effectively covers not only stroke basic science, anatomy, and neurophysiology of recovery but also the latest in rehabilitation treatment options,

with timely insights into rapidly changing fields such as, for example, robotics…This is an invaluable reference, and I plan on encouraging my colleagues
and students to read it.” Richard D. Zorowitz • George F. Wittenberg
