Product Description
This title offers printed book plus "Pageburst[trademark]" access - you will receive a printed book and access to the complete book content electronically. "Pageburst[trademark]" enhances learning by not only bringing world class content to your fingertips but also letting you add to it, annotate it, and categorize it all in a way that suits you. "Pageburst[trademark]" frees you to spend more time learning and less time searching. The third edition of this popular textbook - formerly "Physical Management in Neurological Rehabilitation" and now renamed "Physical Management for Neurological Conditions" - maintains its scientific and research base with extensive use of references and case studies. It is the only book for physiotherapists that offers a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of neurological rehabilitation, specific neurological/neuromuscular conditions and the related physiotherapy treatment approaches used. Important areas which feature throughout are discussed in relation to the different neurological conditions and include: a non-prescriptive, multidisciplinary, problem-solving approach to patient management; involvement of the patient and carer in goal-setting and decision-making (client-centred practice); use of outcome measures to evaluate the effects of treatment in everyday practice; use of case studies to illustrate clinical practice; and, scientific evidence of treatment effectiveness.

Format:Paperback
This is a very interesting and readable title which I feel has to be a must for physiotherapy students. Each chapter holds a wealth of information which is clearly written, is easy to understand and is relevant to undergraduate physiotherapy studies.
Specific chapters within the book stand out which are especially interesting and well worth a read. Peripheral nerve Lesions by R Birch et al gives a clear understanding of manangement for those first encountering peripheral nerve lesions.
Specific treatment techniques contributed by J Jackson provides and concise and excellent overview of the techniques and skills available to physiotherapists with neurology. This chapter provides the core information needed by students and is supported by numerous, useful references to explore.
Also of interest was spinal cord Injury by Rowley et al which gives a good outline of the holistic management of spinal cord injuries including the background pathology and appropriate physiotherapeutic rehabilitation.
Out of the 5 titles in the series, I have found Neurological physiotherapy the most useful, but as a whole each book in the series is great value for money .
