Neurological Physiotherapy: A Problem-Solving Approach


Neurological Physiotherapy: A Problem-Solving Approach
Publisher: Churchill Livingstone | ISBN: 0443064407 | edition 2002 | PDF | 293 pages | 6,58 mb

Taking a problem-solving approach to the management and treatment of people with neurological disability, this book aims to help the physical therapist to identify the appropriate treatment program to address problems of each individual patient. The emphasis is on the identification of symptoms or problems in relation to impairment and disability rather than on a detailed "medical" description of neurological conditions. A wide range of topics is covered including neuropsychological management. A section of case histories illustrates how the patient assessment and treatment planning and management may be put into practice. Neurological Physiotherapy, second edition, may be used as a student textbook or as a handbook for practitioners who are unfamiliar with the problem-solving approach to patient management or who are new to working with neurological conditions.
