An essential book for all Physiotherapy students - By: , 22 Jan 2000
This is a very interesting & readable title which I feel has to be a must for physiotherapy students. Each chapter holds a wealth of information which is clearly written, is easy to understand & is relevant to undergraduate physiotherapy studies.

Specific chapters within the book stand out which are especially interesting & well worth a read. Peripheral nerve Lesions by R Birch et al gives a clear understanding of manangement for those first encountering peripheral nerve lesions.

Specific treatment techniques contributed by J Jackson provides & concise & excellent overview of the techniques & skills available to physiotherapists with neurology. This chapter provides the core information needed by students & is supported by numerous, useful references to explore.

Also of interest was spinal cord Injury by Rowley et al which gives a good outline of the holistic management of spinal cord injuries including the background pathology & appropriate physiotherapeutic rehabilitation.

Out of the 5 titlesin the series, I have found Neurological physiotherapy the most useful, but as a whole each bookin the series is great value for money .
