Guidelines for Adult Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery

Abstract

e98Purpose-The aim of this guideline is to provide a synopsis of best clinical practices in the rehabilitative care of adults recovering from stroke. Methods-Writing group members were nominated by the committee chair on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas and were approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee and the AHA's Manuscript Oversight Committee. The panel reviewed relevant articles on adults using computerized searches of the medical literature through 2014. The evidence is organized within the context of the AHA framework and is classified according to the joint AHA/American College of Cardiology and supplementary AHA methods of classifying the level of certainty and the class and level of evidence. The document underwent extensive AHA internal and external peer review, Stroke Council Leadership review, and Scientific Statements Oversight Committee review before consideration and approval by the AHA Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee. Results-Stroke rehabilitation requires a sustained and coordinated effort from a large team, including the patient and his or her goals, family and friends, other caregivers (eg, personal care attendants), physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, recreation therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, social workers, and others. Communication and coordination among these team members are paramount in maximizing the effectiveness

“…Вто-ричная профилактика ОНМК, прежде всего, медика-ментозная терапия с доказанным благоприятным дей-ствием на прогноз, способна существенно снизить как частоту повторного МИ, так и связанную с ним сердечно-сосудистую смертность [4][5][6]. Основные положения первичной и вторичной профилактики МИ сформу-лированы в ряде современных клинических рекомен-даций [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
