Use your knowledge of the nervous system to evaluate and treat neurologic disorders! Neuroscience: Fundamentals for Rehabilitation, 7th Edition, provides an illustrated guide to neurology and how it affects the practice of physical and occupational therapy. Case studies and first-person stories from people with neurologic disorders make it easier to develop clinical reasoning skills and apply your knowledge to the clinical setting. This print book includes an enhanced eBook free with each purchase. Written by noted PT educators Laurie Lundy-Ekman and Andy Weyer, Neuroscience uses an evidence-based framework to help you examine and evaluate disorders due to nervous system damage or disease.

New to This Edition

Key Features
- Logical, systems approach to neuroscience makes it easier to master complex information and provides a framework for conducting a neurologic examination and evaluation
- Clinical perspective of neuroscience is provided through case studies, personal stories written by people with neurologic disorders, and summaries of key features of neurologic disorders and the body systems they affect
- Six sections — Overview of Neurology, Neuroscience at the Cellular Level, Development of the Nervous System, Vertical Systems, Regions, and Neurologic Tests — first show how neural cells operate, and then allow you to apply your knowledge of neuroscience
- Coverage of key physical rehabilitation topics includes abnormal muscle tone, chronic pain, control of movement, and differential diagnosis of dizziness
- Hundreds of color-coded illustrations show body structures and functions across systems
- Full-color atlas includes photographs of the human brain along with labeled line drawings
- Clinical Notes case studies let you apply neuroscience concepts may be applied to clinical situations
- Pathology boxes provide a quick summary of the features of neurologic disorders commonly encountered in rehabilitation practice
- Quick Reference Lists on the inside book covers make it easy to find frequently consulted figures, reflexes, tables, and summaries
- Enhanced eBook version, included with every new print purchase, allows digital access to all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud on a variety of devices
- Answers to the book’s case studies and a student workbook with 1,000 practice questions and answers are also included in the eBook
