About the Book

Part of a series designed for undergraduate physiotherapy students in order to help them acquire the mental skills necessary for becoming a clinician, this book comprises a collection of papers to illustrate the process of devising therapeutic intervention for neurologically-impaired people. The book comprises discussions on a motor learning model for rehabilitation which draws on information from the movement sciences, movement disorders of neural origin that develop as a consequence of the site of the lesion, the biomechanical measurement of human motor performance, the cognitive and behavioural problems which brain-damaged patients may suffer and that interfere with or retard progress in therapy, the participation of patients in their own rehabilitation, fitness training for those with an injured spinal cord, the changes to muscle and connective tissue associated with use and disuse, the effect of head injury on respiratory function and the need to anticipate problems, understand the process of prevention and begin positive rehabilitation from day one. Although this book is aimed at the student, it would also be of use to graduates who wish to update their knowledge. To these ends the book has been extensively referenced to assist in providing access to the large amount of relevant literature upon which therapists are encouraged to base their clinical intervention.
