Neuroscience: Fundamentals for Rehabilitation

Neuroscience: Fundamentals for Rehabilitation

<p>This practical guide connects the theory of neuroscience with real-world clinical application by utilizing first person accounts of neurological disorders and in-depth case studies. It also provides clear descriptions of a complete range of neurological disorders. Special features such as "at-a-glance" summaries, pathology boxes, and hundreds of full-color illustrations, enhance the learning experience and make it easy to master the fundamentals of neuroscience rehabilitation.</p><ul><b><li>Systems approach</b> to neuroscience helps you develop a fuller understanding of concepts in the beginning of the text and apply them to new clinical disorders later in the text.</li><b> <p><li>Five sections</b>: Cellular Level, Development, Systems, Regions, and Support Systems show how neural cells operate first, and then help you apply that knowledge while developing an understanding of systems neuroscience.</li> <b> <p><li>UNIQUE! An emphasis on neuroscience issues </b>critical for practice of physical rehabilitation such as abnormal muscle tone, chronic pain, and control of movement.</li> <b> <p><li>Evidence-based content</b> has been updated to reflect the most recent research.</li> <b> <p><li>Patient experience boxes</b> at the beginning of each chapter give insight from actual patients and the patients’ experiences with disorders discussed in the text.</li> <b><i> <p><li>Clinical notes</i> case studies</b> include bulleted information relevant to the clinician.</li> </ul><ul><b><li>NEW! Chapter on pain</b> will help students understand the physiological origins of pain and how it can be treated.</li><b><li>NEW! Color standardization in anatomy images</b> will familiarize you with structures and their functions across systems.</li></ul>
