Physical Management in Neurological Rehabilitation

"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 ."
