This classic, reader-friendly text provides a concise, comprehensive and clinically oriented survey of the human nervous system. Guides to understand the principles of physiotherapy and techniques to manage neurogenic dysfunctions and how all the components of the nervous system fit together and work as a cohesive unit. The diversity of clinical presentation, response and outcome of treatment all have to be studied together to check the long duration of morbidity and physical disability associated with neural disorders. This book explains time tested methods adopted in dealing with neurological disorders and even suggests new concepts in management that are not so popular. It will help students of basic neuroscience as well as residents and physicians to deal with neural disorders.
