Book, Neuroscience Fundamentals for Rehabilitation 5/19[LS]

Improve your skills in planning and managing physical rehabilitation! Demonstrating the connections between neuroscience and clinical application, the book Neuroscience - Fundamentals for Rehabilitation explains the nervous system and shows how to apply your knowledge to the practice of physical therapy and occupational therapy. Evidence-based research reflects the latest findings, and personal accounts written by patients help you understand and treat common neurological disorders. What's New: • Neuroimaging Chapter and Neuroanatomy Atlas includes MRI and CT images. • Chapter on Neurological Disorders and Neurological Examination provides detailed descriptions and photographs of the techniques. • Clinical Diagnostic Reasoning Charts within the chapters guide the student in developing the ability to recognize patterns of signs and symptoms associated with specific diagnoses. • The logical approach to neuroscience has evolved from a cellular-level perspective to a system-level perspective and provides support for conducting a neurological examination and subsequent assessment. • Hundreds of colorful illustrations show structures and functions in systems. • Case studies in Clinical Notes demonstrate how neuroscience knowledge can be applied to clinical situations. • Pathology Tables summarize the characteristics of neurological disorders frequently encountered in rehabilitation practice. • Emphasis on topics critical to physical rehabilitation includes coverage of abnormal muscle tone, chronic pain, movement control, and differential diagnosis of vertigo.
