Neurological Rehabilitation is the latest volume in the definitive
Handbook of Clinical Neurology series. It is the first time that this
increasing important subject has been included in the series and this
reflects the growing interest and quality of scientific data on topics
around neural recovery and the practical applications of new research.
The volume will appeal to clinicians from both neurological and
rehabilitation backgrounds and contains topics of interest to all
members of the multidisciplinary clinical team as well as the
neuroscience community. The volume is divided into five key sections.
The first is a summary of current research on neural repair, recovery
and plasticity. The authors have kept the topics readable for a
non-scientific audience and focused on the aspects of basic
neuroscience that should be most relevant to clinical practice. The
next section covers the basic principles of neurorehabilitation,
including excellent chapters on learning and skill acquisition,
outcome measurement and functional neuroimaging. The key clinical
section comes next and includes updates and reviews on the management
of the main neurological disabling physical problems, such as
spasticity, pain, sexual functioning and dysphagia. Cognitive,
emotional and behavioural problems are just as important and are
covered in the next section, with excellent chapters, for example, on
memory and management of executive dysfunction. The final part draws
the sections on symptom management together by discussing the
individual diseases that are most commonly seen in neurorehabilitation
and providing an overview of the management of the disability
associated with those disorders. The volume is a definitive review of
current neurorehabilitation practice and will be valuable to a wide
range of clinicians and scientists working in this rapidly developing
field.
