Can anyone help?
I am currently writing an assignment for a post grad paper. For this I have to write a business plan for some sort of service. I have decided to write the plan for a mobile stroke service within Dunedin. I have worked in a similar team in the UK so have some understanding of what I’m proposing, but I need to find evidence to back this up. The literature I really need is anything that supports early discharge after stroke, and improved functional otcomes following rehab in a persons own home. If anyone could help i’ll be forever grateful!! Thanks…

Hello,
I am a Masters of Occupational Therapy student and am undertaking a project exploring benefits and application of Yoga for post stroke clients. There is lot of research supporting the benefits of applying Yoga for various disabilities but there seems to be lack of literature on how to adapt Yoga for post stroke clients. I wish to evoke a discussion on how yoga is being adapted and applied with stroke clients and with what therapeutic gains.
I invite your participation in the discussion about Yoga and stroke at my blogsite, http://strokeofyoga.blogspot.com/. What is likely to emerge out of this is a real-time, practice-based information on the topic. So, please come and share your experiences, ideas, and suggestions about the topic and join in an open & healthy discussion with other like-interest practitioners.
Please share any information along the lines of what type of Yoga is used, how often, how is it adapted, which specific Yogic concepts are used, and how long it takes before the results are seen.
I project to start summarizing the blog site activities by May 15th 2009.
I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. Your contribution is indispensable to the success of this undertaking and for future growth of knowledge in this area.
Sincerely,
Rashmi Bhatia, OTR/L
