Neuroscience for RehabilitationThe first neuroanatomy text written specifically for physical therapy students Instructors finally have a resource created specifically for physical therapy students taking a neuroanatomy course. Neuroanatomy for Physical Therapy provides readers with an understanding of the anatomical localization of brain function in order to help them accurately interpret the wealth of new human brain images now available.
