Neurological physical therapy (NPTL 401): Online resources

There is an abundance of literature on evidence-based practice, but much of it can be challenging to connect directly to patient care. In contrast, this book begins with real patients and their specific problems, followed by expert clinicians from various disciplines detailing how they would approach treatment. This structure ensures that the content is directly applicable to clinical practice. The authors have included an extensive list of references to support their treatment choices. This book will appeal to a broad audience, including physiotherapy clinicians and researchers, healthcare professionals working with neurological patients, and managers responsible for organizing these services. It will also serve as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate neurology students.

Neurological Physiotherapy aims to provide an improved understanding of problems commonly encountered by the therapist working with people with neurological disability. It describes aspects of posture and movement difficulties that may occur as a result of neurological damage and gives guidance to help the therapist to plan the appropriate treatment program for each patient.

Neurologic Examination is designed to help medical personnel make a diagnosis with the patient’s history and physical examination. This book is designed to lead the physician to the correct localization of a lesion utilizing simple bedside tests. The only tools employed are a reflex hammer and a pin.
