{"product_id":"restorative-neurology-of-spinal-cord-injury","title":"Restorative Neurology of Spinal Cord Injury","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing injury or disease, neural circuitry can be altered to varying degrees leading to highly individualized characteristics that may or may not resemble original function. In addition, lost or partially damaged circuits and the effects of biological recovery processes coupled with learned compensatory strategies create a new neuroanatomy with capabilities that are often not functional or may interfere with daily life. To date, the majority of approaches used to\n\u003cbr\u003etreat neurological dysfunction have focused on the replacement of lost or damaged function, usually through the suppression of surviving neural activity and the application of mechanical assistive\n\u003cbr\u003edevices. Restorative Neurology of Spinal Cord Injury offers a different and novel approach. Focusing on the spinal cord and its role in motor control, the book details the clinical and neurophysiological assessment process and methods developed throughout the past half century by basic and clinical scientists. Then, through the use of specialized clinical and neurophysiological testing methods, conduction and processing performed within the surviving neural\n\u003cbr\u003ecircuitry is examined and characterized in detail. Based on the results of such assessment, treatment strategies, also described in this book, are applied to augment, rather than replace, the performance of surviving\n\u003cbr\u003eneural circuitry and improve the functional capacity of people who have experienced injury to their spinal cords.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156816687342,"sku":"9780199746507","price":193.81,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199746507.jpg?v=1706248303","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/restorative-neurology-of-spinal-cord-injury","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
