New approaches for central nervous system rehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is a complex and growing field of motor rehabilitation. It is specifically directed to apply restorative techniques to stimulate neural plasticity of the central nervous system (CNS). Considering that neuroplasticity is maintained for the whole human life and can be stimulated through specific learning or exposure to enriched environments, we can hypothesize that applying specific treatments can be beneficial for people with CNS injury. Because the plateau of neuroplasticity can be observed after about 12 weeks from stroke onset it is vital to capitalize on this high level of brain reorganization by providing well-timed and well-designed treatments. Here we can distinguish a wide range of approaches developed for CNS recovery in acute, subacute, or chronic stage of injury. These approaches comprise priming or augmentation techniques, including innovative technologies like end-effector robots, exoskeletons, or virtual reality. Many of them have been confirmed as effective, but so far in clinical practice, we can still experience a lack of specific indications i.e., which therapy for how long time and for which patient’s impairment can be applied.
Handbook of Research on Advances in Digital Technologies to Promote Rehabilitation and Community Participation
Digital technologies hold immense potential to transform the field of rehabilitation and enable greater community participation for individuals with disabilities. In the Handbook of Research on Advances in Digital Technologies to Promote Rehabilitation and Community Participation, a comprehensive exploration of these cutting-edge technologies and their impact is presented, and it delves into various digital solutions, such as virtual reality, tele-rehabilitation, mobile apps, rehabilitation platforms, and more. The book sheds light on the applications to promote rehabilitation and enhance community involvement. It provides a profound understanding of how these technologies can facilitate rem...
Saúde Coletiva
O livro consiste em uma coletânea atualizada e ampliada de textos sobre múltiplos aspectos da Saúde Coletiva, ressaltando princípios conceituais e metodológicos desse campo de saberes e práticas sociais. Seu foco está nas necessidades e problemas de saúde das populações e nas respostas sociais organizadas para atenção, intervenção e superação dessa problemática e seus desdobramentos no contexto de práticas de saúde realizadas em sociedades com alto grau de desigualdades. Saúde Coletiva – Teoria e Prática, 2a edição, destina-se aos iniciantes que estão se introduzindo nesse campo científico e âmbito de práticas, principalmente a alunos de graduação, de especialização, residentes, mestrandos profissionais nos primeiros módulos do curso e candidatos a processos seletivos da pós-graduação senso estrito.

Este livro destina-se aos profissionais da saúde que atuam com reabilitação, tais como neurologistas, fisiatras, fisioterapeutas, terapeutas ocupacionais, psicólogos, fonoaudiólogos, entre outros.
Analysis of Free Radicals in Biological Systems
"Oxidative stress" is used as the generic term describing the involve ment of reactive oxygen species in various human diseases. The scope of such a topic is becoming increasingly wide. The recent interest in radicals such as nitric oxide and the discovery of new mechanisms such as the effect of free radicals on redox sensitive proteins and genes are enlarging our understanding of the physiological role of free radicals. Oxidative stress is involved in numerous pathological. processes such as ageing, respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological pathologies such as dementia or Parkinson's disease. It still remains difficult, however, to demonstrate by chemical measurement the ...
Constraint-induced Movement Therapy
Constraint-Induced Movement therapy (CI therapy) is a behavioral approach to neurorehabilitation based on a program of neuroscience experiments conducted with monkeys. Evidence has accumulated to support the efficacy of CI therapy for rehabilitating hemiparetic arm use in individuals with chronic stroke. This book addresses the related topics.
Mechanical Ventilation and Weaning
Mechanical ventilation and weaning is one of the most common procedures carried out in critically ill patients. Appropriate management of these patients is of paramount importance to improve the outcome in terms of both morbidity and mortality. This book offers the physiological and clinical basis required to improve the care delivered to patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.

Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation is based on the assumption that motor learning contributes to motor recovery after injury. However, little is known about how learning itself is affected by brain injury, how learning mechanisms interact with spontaneous biological recovery, and how best to incorporate learning principles into rehabilitation training protocols. Here we distinguish between two types of motor learning, adaptation and skill acquisition, and discuss how they relate to neurorehabilitation. Functional recovery can occur through resolution of impairment (reacquisition of premorbid movement patterns) and through compensation (use of alternative movements or effectors to accomplish the same goal);...
