Neuroscience : Fundamentals for Rehabilitation Fourth Edition

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.
 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.
 NEW! Color standardization in anatomy images will familiarize you with structures and
their functions across systems
