This textbook is designed for those who have head-injured clients as part of their caseload, but have little or no specialist training or experience in this area. In other words, those who work outside of specialist units. It aims to help the reader to develop a deeper understanding of the pathology and effects of any significant traumatic insult to the brain. The emphasis is on the long-term and continuing deficits of these clients which require ongoing rehabilitation, rather than on the acute, immediate post-injury aspects of care which are usually dealt with in special units. The content focuses on the general principles and issues involved rather than on the clinical details of care. It will help give those working in this area an understanding of the importance of their role in the ongoing rehabilitation process.
Features: * Written by an experienced clinician * Addresses both hospital and community care settings * Looks at the on-going problems of rehab encountered by the non-specialist therapist * Sets PT practice in the context of the interdisciplinary team - the extended role of the PT * Includes detailed consideration of a wide scope of influencing factors such as severity of injury, support networks and cognitive and behavioural issues * Draws on published literature and extensive clinical experience * Offers practical guidance with suggested frameworks for therapeutic management * Illustrates the recommended approach to practice via case examples * Includes an overview of a model service * Gives checklists and other practical guidance to facilitate the clinical decision making process
