Changes in the focus of neurological practice worldwide have led to
the need for new standard texts that reflect the current state of
this expanding area of clinical expertise. The second edition of
the Handbook of Neurological Rehabilitation is a major reference
source that fulfils this need, providing an invaluable resource for
all professions that work with patients suffering from neurological
disorders. It brings restorative neurology to the bedside and shows
how a reiterative, goal-oriented, problem-solving training
programme can benefit patients, sometimes on a scale not achieved
by pharmacological or surgical interventions. The book is divided
into three sections all of which have been updated. Section One
explores the clinical and biological principles underpinning
rehabilitation practice in the context of neurological disablement.
Section Two describes the assessment, treatment, and management of
the major physical, cognitive and behavioural impairments, and the
resulting functional deficits that may follow or accompany
neurological disease. The final section explores in more detail
these problems and their management in relation to the more common
specific disorders of the nervous system. The text emphasises the
fact that rehabilitation is an ongoing process involving
multidisciplinary problem-solving, goal-setting and education; in
which organised care is more effective than unorganised care; and
the breakdown of professional barriers within rehabilitation, to
facilitate the use of combined treatment techniques, improves
outcome. It describes the contribution made by neural
reorganisation and compensatory mechanisms to recovery of function,
focuses on the avoidance of secondary deficit, and explores the
physical, cognitive, affective and behavioural problems that may
occur after neurological damage. At a time when new medical
technologies threaten to fragment the integrity of medical care at
individual and societal levels, it is crucial that all those
involved in the management of chronic neurological disease have a
working knowledge of the contents of this book. Their perspective
on clinical practice will then be truly integrated and holistic and
their patients will benefit accordingly.
