Description
Applied Neurosciences for the Allied Health Professions provides a comprehensive foundation in neurosciences for students and professionals. This multidisciplinary approach covers the normal function and structure of the nervous system, as well as perceptuo-motor control and learning, which are crucial in rehabilitation. The book explores common problems encountered by allied health professionals in neurological rehabilitation, including perception, movement, planning, attention, memory, communication, motivation, emotion, sleep, continence, and sexuality. It also introduces key theories and evidence underpinning behavioural and pharmacotherapeutic interventions used in this field. Supplementary information boxes provide additional insights through case studies and research boxes, highlighting the clinical relevance of topics discussed. This book offers a solid understanding of neurosciences for undergraduates and pre-registration postgraduate students, informing their clinical practice and providing a foundation for best practice in neurological rehabilitation.
