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.
Systems approach 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.Five sections
: 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.UNIQUE An emphasis on neuroscience issues
critical for practice of physical rehabilitation such as abnormal muscle tone, chronic pain, and control of movement.Evidence-based content
has been updated to reflect the most recent research.Patient experience boxes
at the beginning of each chapter give insight from actual patients and the patients' experiences with disorders discussed in the text.Clinical notes
case studies include bulleted information relevant to the clinician. NEW Chapter on pain will help students understand the physiological origins of pain and how it can be treated.

Good book for OT/PT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is written for OT/PT and it has alot in information crammed in it. It doesn't dumb down the information and I'm a student so sometimes I need to look up things to understand what the text is talking about but it's definitely aimed at professionals.
A good general reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Laurie Lundy-Ekman's book was the textbook in my recent upper division neuroanatomy course and offered a good base reference for the course. The author mentions neurological problems relevant to the brain area discussed in that chapter, which is helpful for a better understanding. Its a great reference book to keep on the shelf and its smaller size makes it more handy than other larger neurology books.
