Summary: This is a full-colour neuroscience text that skillfully integrates neuromuscular skeletal content. A full-color neuroscience text that skillfully integrates neuromuscular skeletal content covers both pediatric and adult issues Beautiful full-color presentation with numerous images neurorehabilitation in Physical Therapy delivers comprehensive coverage of the structure and function of the human nervous system. It also discusses normal motor development and motor control, as well as common treatment techniques in physical therapy. In order to be engaging to students, cases open each chapter, with questions about those cases appearing throughout the chapter. The text includes numerous tables, flow charts, illustrations, and multiple-choice board-style review questions and is enhanced by a roster of world-renowned clinical contributors.
