About Book
Physiotherapy in Neurology is a comprehensive and clinically oriented textbook developed to provide physiotherapy students, educators, and practitioners with an in-depth understanding of neurological disorders and their rehabilitation using evidence-based physiotherapeutic interventions. Designed in accordance with the contemporary physiotherapy curriculum, the book seamlessly integrates fundamental scientific concepts with practical clinical applications, making it an indispensable resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate learners. The text presents a systematic exploration of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroplasticity, neurological assessment, and rehabilitation principles, enabling readers to build a strong conceptual foundation before progressing to advanced therapeutic techniques. It comprehensively addresses the evaluation and management of a wide spectrum of neurological conditions, including stroke, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophies, peripheral nerve injuries, vestibular disorders, and other neuromuscular dysfunctions. Each chapter is carefully structured to strengthen clinical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, and evidence-based decision-making while emphasizing patient-centered rehabilitation. A distinctive feature of this book is its detailed presentation of internationally accepted neurorehabilitation approaches. It explains the scientific basis, clinical applications, indications, and therapeutic techniques of Bobath (Neurodevelopmental Treatment), Brunnstrom Movement Therapy, Vojta Therapy, Motor Re-learning Programme (MRP), Rood's Sensorimotor Approach, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Sensory Integration Therapy, Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), task-oriented training, gait re-education, balance rehabilitation, and functional mobility training. Equal emphasis is placed on motor control, sensory re-education, postural correction, coordination training, electrodiagnostic evaluation, functional assessment, and the development of individualized rehabilitation protocols aimed at maximizing independence and improving quality of life. The book further bridges the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice through well-illustrated assessment procedures, therapeutic demonstrations, clinical tips, evidence-based treatment algorithms, practical exercises, and case-based discussions that simulate real-world patient management. Recent advances in neurorehabilitation, multidisciplinary rehabilitation strategies, outcome measurement tools, and technological innovations are also incorporated to prepare students for contemporary physiotherapy practice. Written in a clear, logical, and student-friendly manner, Physiotherapy in Neurology serves as a complete learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy students, faculty members, clinicians, and rehabilitation professionals. By combining scientific rigor with practical relevance, this book aims to develop competent, confident, and compassionate physiotherapists capable of delivering high-quality neurological rehabilitation and improving functional outcomes for individuals living with neurological disorders.
