About the Authors Leon Edward and Dr. Anum Khan
For Leon Edward, the past 35 years since the tbi left one lingering desire: the need to give something back, a way to provide something meaningful for the families and loved ones of patients who now, or in the future, will face the same painful disruption of their lives and the same long journey he had to undertake such a long time ago.“I want to be clear in the introduction that I am not a health professional as my co author Dr. Khan , but rather an engineer that has had a tbi" - Leon Edward
This book was written by one deeply caring brother for his brothers and sisters suffering the same or even a worse fate after surviving traumatic brain injuries – and with deep admiration and appreciation for their families and caretakers who will help to guide them.
For Leon it has become an ingrained part of his existence to help others enjoy life after suffering serious injuries, even if it only means that he can help others who are disabled or living alone with words of hope, encouragement of inspiration.
Dr. Anum Khan enjoys crafting health content that genuinely helps the readers in a practical and insightful way.

However, the guide expands to the web , books and videos with the helpful resource section.Resources for Spasticity Support Information and News will direct you to support groups, National Associations, Treatment Options , spasticity videos for rehabilitation and articles reports from leading authorities.
Covered in this short read are the most commonly used methods of treatment when it comes to treatment for spasticity. Emphasized is the importance of making sure you understand the need to set realistic goals. Treatment options will not cause the spasticity to vanish permanently, and it may take a lifetime of dedicated treatment to regain only a small amount of movement.
Still, working toward improving your spasticity or working with a loved one who is suffering can provide some improvement to their quality of life.Many times, those who have family or friends who suffer from spasticity only see the outer effects. This is sometimes true of the sufferers as well. They feel the pain, they see the pain, but they do not always consider the emotional consequences, which can often be just as devastating - and sometimes more so - than the physical consequences.
It is also important to consider the point of view of the family and friends who are looking at their loved one who is now suffering from spasticity. Many people simply do not know how to react in these instances. They do not know how to treat the sufferer, and this can cause them to withdraw as well. It is also vital to think about spasticity from the perspective of the caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones at home or in a facility. Caring for a loved one with this condition can be extremely draining both physically and emotionally.
The long-term outlook for those who are suffering from spasticity will naturally depend upon the severity of the spasticity, as well as the particular cause. Some patients are able to recover fully or almost fully after they’ve been in an accident that causes temporary symptoms of spasticity. Others have disorders that will cause them to live with it the rest of their life. There are a number of treatment options available, as we’ve already covered. Doctors and other healthcare professionals are always looking for new ways to help their patients and to provide them with better care. With more research and medical advances, there is hope that there will be better methods of helping those who are suffering from the condition.
From the author - “I want to be clear in the introduction that I am not a health professional but rather an engineer that has had partial paralysis on one side with the accompanying dropfoot effect and spasticity in varying degrees. This is written with a deep care for my brothers and sisters affected as I have been, plus their families or caretakers.” - Stay Safe

This book compiles researching current health care and home care nursing or caretaker assistant practices emphasizing safety with reviewing valuable lessons learned and studied in over 30 years since the author 'awoke' from a coma, revealing his own partial paralysis or hemiparesis and beginning the road back and successful career.
Many people with hemiparesis, reportedly up to 40% yearly after a traumatic brain injury, stroke or other cause experience a major fall accident within one year's time. While no amount of preparation can 100 percent eliminate post-stroke or tbi accidents, much is preventable by taking appropriate safety measures and adjusting the home environment.
