Neurological Rehabilitation. Spasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and Research

Description

This work combines coverage of both spasticity and contractures as these two phenomena are often closely interrelated. Current researchers do not differentiate between these individual impairments and, as a result, there is significant confusion in the literature. Thisbook discusses both conditions and then separates them into their respective components. If these two conditions co-exist (which is generally the case), then the management of a patient will need to be customized to individual clinical presentation. This book covers thisapproach in detail.
