  This practical guide focuses on the evidence-based neuroscience information that is most relevant to the practice of physical rehabilitation. It connects the theory of neuroscience with real-world clinical application with such features as: stories written by real people with neurological disorders, case studies, and lists summarizing key features of neurological disorders. It also provides clear descriptions of a complete range of neurological disorders and the body systems they affect. The text progresses logically from the molecular and cellular levels, to systems, and then to regions, to help make complex information easy to master. Special features, such as Clinical Notes boxes with at-a-glance summaries, Red Flag boxes, and hundreds of full-color illustrations, enhance the learning experience and make it easy for the student and clinician to access clinically relevant information.

  This full-colour text/atlas presents all of the neuroscience knowledge that is essential to the practice of clinical rehabilitation. It emphasizes the neurological disorders and body systems that are most relevant to physical and occupational therapy. A cumulative, building-block organization--progressing from the cellular and developmental level, through the somatosensory, autonomic, and motor systems, to regional anatomy--makes complex material easier to master. Features: * Presents the most up-to-date, research-based information available today, including our most recent understanding of subjects such as spasticity and chronic pain. * Includes descriptions of personal experiences from people who are actually living with various neurological disorders, driving home the clinical relevance of the material. * Offers case studies and review questions to help readers build their understanding of the content. * Features full-colour artwork that clarifies spatial relationships and depicts the flow of information within the nervous system. * Uses boxes to summarise, at a glance, the pathology, aetiology, signs and symptoms, and prognosis for the most commonly encountered disorders. * Photographic atlas of the brain.
