Neurological Rehabilitation

This classic and well-respected text applies a time-tested, problem-solving approach to neurological rehabilitation perfect for both the classroom and clinical settings. The book reviews basic theory and covers the latest screening and diagnostic tests, new treatments, and interventions commonly used in today's clinical practice. An illustrated disease section provides comprehensive details on the disorders and post-trauma effects the physical therapist is most likely to encounter in practice. A final section explores neurological problems at the root of common disabilities such as poor vision. Most chapters in NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION, 4th Edition have been revised or entirely rewritten to reflect the latest advancements and trends. The book concludes with a brand new Study Guide appendix containing challenging questions-and-answers on each chapter.
