This full-colour text/atlas presents all of the neuroscience knowledge that is essential to the practice of clinical rehabilitation. It emphasizes the neurological disorders and body systems that are most relevant to physical and occupational therapy. A cumulative, building-block organization--progressing from the cellular and developmental level, through the somatosensory, autonomic, and motor systems, to regional anatomy--makes complex material easier to master. Features: * Presents the most up-to-date, research-based information available today, including our most recent understanding of subjects such as spasticity and chronic pain. * Includes descriptions of personal experiences from people who are actually living with various neurological disorders, driving home the clinical relevance of the material. * Offers case studies and review questions to help readers build their understanding of the content. * Features full-colour artwork that clarifies spatial relationships and depicts the flow of information within the nervous system. * Uses boxes to summarise, at a glance, the pathology, aetiology, signs and symptoms, and prognosis for the most commonly encountered disorders. * Photographic atlas of the brain.

The Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Sixth Edition, (Guides Sixth) from the American Medical Association, emphasizes the fundamental skills physicians need to evaluate and communicate patient impairments.
Standardized methodology is applied to each chapter to enhance the relevancy of impairment ratings, improve internal consistency and promote ease of application to the rating process. This ordered method enables busy physicians to become proficient with the ratings for multiple organ systems and anticipate how each chapter is organized and assimilates information.
The Guides Sixth applies both terminology from, and an analytical framework based on, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), to generate five impairment classes which permit the rating of the patient from no impairment to most severe. A diagnosis-based grid has been developed for each organ system that arranges commonly used ICD-9 diagnoses within the fiv
