  This is the classic reference for clinicians and students. The 4th Edition of Neurological Rehabilitation addresses therapeutic management of neurologically disabled people in a problem-solving approach. Section I describes the theory behind neurological rehabilitation. The types of screening and diagnostic tests used, general treatments and interventions, as well as the psychological aspect for the patient. Section II covers all the common diseases, genetic disorders and post-trauma effects that the physical therapist is likely to encounter through clinical practice. Each chapter gives a detailed overview of that particular disease or impairment and the suggested treatments. Each is heavily illustrated and contains at least one case study to further enhance understanding. Section III covers neurological problems associated with all disabilities such as poor vision, pelvic floor dysfunction and pain management.
