Customer Reviews

A great book for OTs studying or working in neurology
The individual chapters enable the reader to break down the areas assessed and treated when working with or studying neurological conditions. There are chapters on Cognitive and Perceptual assessment etc. and also clear explanations of the WHO definitions of stroke. The book is great for use as a department textbook for occupational therapists to delve into for revision of one area and is on the reading list of OT training establishment including Southampton School as a guide to stroke and neuro generally. An all round useful addition to any OTs library or students purchases for their course.
