N2  - Eighty per cent of all disabled cerebrovascular accident patients can become independently ambulatory and/or independent in activities of daily living. Fifteen to twenty per cent can return to productivity in the work field. All can enjoy better health through better care.These prefatory remarks set the optimistic tone of this realistic book on rehabilitation. Physiatrist Bonner and the staff at the Cardinal Cushing Rehabilitation Center have detailed the contribution of physician, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, social worker, dietitian, and consultant. The team approach is stressed with discussions of the nuts and bolts of patient care. A fine chapter on home evaluation and care complements this valuable guidebook. "Team Approach" should be read by everyone concerned with the management of the stroke victim.
