Quick Reference Neuroscience for Rehabilitation Professionals

The Essential Neurologic Principles Underlying Rehabilitation Practice

About this book

The fourth edition of this concise and accessible book continues to provide readers with the fundamentals of clinical neuroscience, the essentials of neurological functioning, and the neurological basis for a range of rehabilitation practices.

The book starts by illustrating the basics of neuroanatomy, before addressing the function of neurological systems underlying motor, sensory, visual, perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and memory disorders. Along with new full color illustrations and photographs, the book has been updated to include the following additional material:

  • Full screening procedures have been added to the cranial nerve section.
  • Full color illustrations have been added to the special sense receptor section to illustrate the clinical pathology underlying visual field impairments.
  • New sections have been added addressing attention and cognition.
  • A subsection, "Occupational Performance Implications," was added to all sections to help readers understand how function/dysfunction of neuroanatomical systems impact performance in daily life activities.

This updated fourth edition continues to be essential reading for any healthcare professional working in rehabilitation, or students on the journey to become rehabilitation professionals.
