Review

“Throughout each section, there are outstanding color illustrations that help the reader visualize the location of neuroanatomical structures and understand the material presented. As a quick reference to neuroscience, the publication is well suited for use by both clinicians in physical and occupational therapy and all students in professions related to rehabilitation. This is a great reference to have in any clinic that commonly treats patients with neurological deficits. It is an easy-to-use, fast method for those who require information at their fingertips. Students as well as seasoned therapists will benefit from the information in this text.” —Kristen Kwiatkowski-Digwood, ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants
