A key feature of this well written new book is the totally new section on treatment approaches to Neurological Rehabilitation. Seven chapters cover the range of treatment approaches from their theoretical basis, through management, to neurological rehabilitation. The book is well referenced and will be an invaluable tool for all physiotherapy students and practicing physiotherapists with a special interest in neurology. * The two-colour design highlights important information -- readers can access it fast! * Helpful chapter outlines summarise upcoming content information. * Discusses new concepts in physiotherapy treatment that help the reader apply appropriate treatment methods to each client. * More than 65 new and redrawn artworks. * New larger format. * Seven chapters covering treatment approaches. |
