This essential resource on multiple sclerosis explores recovery mechanisms and neurorehabilitation strategies, offering insights for clinicians and healthcare providers involved in patient care.
The book Multiple Sclerosis serves as a crucial resource for understanding one of the most prevalent neurological diseases affecting younger adults. It delves into the significant limitations imposed by the condition on activities and social participation. Edited by prominent clinicians and researchers, this text emphasizes recovery mechanisms and therapeutic interventions designed to enhance the quality of life for those living with MS. It is invaluable for clinicians, therapists, neurophysiologists, and healthcare advisors who work directly with patients.
Recent advancements in both basic and applied science have shed light on the mechanisms of the disease, leading to more effective therapies. The book outlines the importance of a carefully structured neurorehabilitation program as the most effective strategy for managing multiple sclerosis. The primary objectives of such programs include reducing disability, alleviating handicap, and improving overall function through targeted training and increased social engagement.
As the first comprehensive text dedicated to recovery and neurorehabilitation in MS, Multiple Sclerosis explores the mechanisms of recovery and the application of neuroplasticity in therapeutic practices. It also assesses the effectiveness of various interventions. The book provides foundational principles of neurorehabilitation while detailing techniques for addressing specific syndromes associated with MS. With a balanced approach to basic science, pathophysiology, and clinical rehabilitation, this book is an essential guide for professionals involved in the care and treatment of individuals with multiple sclerosis.
