This is written with a deep care for my brothers and sisters affected as I have been, plus their families or caretakers.
As an engineer living with effects of hemiparesis for over thirty years, besides the research on care and rehabilitation, I offer care, safety and insights on conditions as dropfoot, spasticity and cognitive effects with my own analysis and added expert research on improving the mind body. In later sections of the book. I’ve added personal articles on experiencing conditions in daily life from simply walking safely to communication issues personally and in the workplace.†Leon Edward is one of the almost 80% who did not have full recovery after a gunshot to his head and has lived with hemiparesis effects for decades
