Boost your skills in planning and managing physical rehabilitation!
Neuroscience: Fundamentals for Rehabilitation, 5th Edition provides
a practical guide to the nervous system and how it affects the
practice of physical and occupational therapy. Case studies and
first-person stories from people with neurologic disorders make it
easier to apply your knowledge to the clinical setting. New to this
edition is a new chapter on neuroanatomy imaging. Written by noted
PT educator Laurie Lundy-Ekman, this book uses evidence-based
research to help you understand neurologic disorders and treat
clients who have physical limitations due to nervous system damage
or disease. Logical, systems approach to neuroscience makes it
easier to master complex information and provides a framework for
conducting a neurologic examination and evaluation. A clinical
perspective of neuroscience is provided through case studies,
personal stories written by patients, and summaries of key features
of neurologic disorders and the body systems they affect. Five
sections - Overview of Neurology, Neuroscience at the Cellular
Level, Development of the Nervous System, Vertical Systems, and
Regions - first show how neural cells operate, and then allow you
to apply your knowledge of neuroscience. Emphasis on topics
critical to physical rehabilitation includes coverage of abnormal
muscle tone, chronic pain, control of movement, and differential
diagnosis of dizziness. Hundreds of color-coded illustrations show
body structures and functions across systems. Clinical Notes case
studies demonstrate how neuroscience knowledge may be applied to
clinical situations. Pathology boxes provide a quick summary of the
features of neurologic disorders commonly encountered in
rehabilitation practice. New! Neuroimaging and Neuroanatomy Atlas
chapter includes MRI and CT images. NEW! Neurologic Disorders and
the Neurologic Examination chapter provides detailed descriptions
and photographs of techniques. NEW! Diagnostic Clinical Reasoning
boxes help you develop the ability to recognize patterns of signs
and symptoms associated with specific diagnoses. NEW! Updated
content reflects the most current research findings. NEW!
Reader-friendly approach converts long, technical chapters into
smaller, more accessible chapters. NEW! Reorganized chapters
progress from the cellular view to the systems view to the regional
view.
