Advanced Technologies for the Rehabilitation of Gait and Balance Disorders
The book provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the field of gait and balance rehabilitation. It describes technologies and devices together with the requirements and factors to be considered during their application in clinical settings. The book covers physiological and pathophysiological basis of locomotion and posture control, describes integrated approaches for the treatment of neurological diseases and spinal cord injury, as well as important principles for designing appropriate clinical studies. It presents computer and robotic technologies currently used in rehabilitation, such as exoskeleton devices, functional electrical stimulation, virtual reali...
Visual Attention and Cognition
The goal of this book is to put together some of the main interdisciplinary aspects that play a role in visual attention and cognition. The book is aimed at researchers and students with interdisciplinary interest. In the first chapter a general discussion of the influential scanpath theory and its implications for human and robot vision is presented. Subsequently, four characteristic aspects of the general theme are dealt with in topical chapters, each of which presents some of the different viewpoints of the various disciplines involved. They cover neuropsychology, clinical neuroscience, modeling, and applications. Each of the chapters opens with a synopsis tying together the individual contributions.
Re-Engineering of the Damaged Brain and Spinal Cord
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can lead to loss of skills and to mental cognitive behavioural deficits. Paraplegia after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) means a life-long sentence of paralysis, sensory loss, dependence and in both, TBI and SCI, waiting for a miracle therapy. Recent advances in functional neurosurgery, neuroprosthesis, robotic devices and cell transplantation have opened up a new era. New drugs and reconstructive surgical concepts are on the horizon. Social reintegration is based on holistic rehabilitation. Psychological treatment can alleviate and strengthen affected life. This book reflects important aspects of physiology and new trans-disciplinary approaches for acute treatment and rehabilitation in neurotraumatology by reviewing evidence based concepts as they were discussed among bio and gene-technologists, physicians, neuropsychologists and other therapists at the joint international congress in Brescia 2004.
Neurocritical Care
A Quick Reference Text! Easy to read and practical in design, Neurocritical Care is the book specialists will turn to for quick reference. It concentrates on management problems, from diagnostic procedures to therapeutic strategies. Exact descriptions are given for treatment procedures, and it is easy to find the appropriate treatment for a given patient. International Expertise! More than 100 authors from North America have contributed to the book. The different strategies used on either side of the Atlantic have been described, the sections on neuroimaging have been reviewed by a neuroradiologist. Comprehensive in Scope! Both frequent and rare neurological diseases that may require critical care treatment and subjects of more general interest such as monitoring strategies, ethical problems, brain death and neurological disorders in internal medicine have been covered. Pathophysiology is also discussed, insomuch as it is important for understanding the treatment strategies.
Die "Deutsche Gefahr"
Um die Jahrhundertwende 1900 zeigte sich im amerikanischen offentlichen Diskurs ein bisher unbekanntes Phanomen: Das Aufkommen einer Angst vor dem Deutschen Kaiserreich als internationalem Konkurrenten mit militarischer Macht. Yannik Muck geht diesem vielschichtigen Phanomen auf den Grund und fragt nach den Verbindungen und Abhangigkeiten, die zwischen einem neu entstandenen massenmedialen System, der amerikanischen Politik im Ubergang zum progressive age und der deutschen kaiserlichen Diplomatie in den Jahren vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg bestanden. Dabei wird einerseits eine systemtheoretische Perspektive eroffnet, die auch fur die heutige Zeit wichtige Erkenntnisse uber die besonderen Beziehungen erlaubt, die zwischen dem amerikanischen Politik- und dem Mediensystem nach wie vor bestehen. Andererseits wird einem Phanomen nachgegangen, das fur die deutsche wie amerikanische Geschichte weitreichende Folgen haben sollte: Erst die Untersuchung des Aufkommens der "Deutschen Gefahr" um 1900 ermoglicht es, den Eintritt der USA in den Ersten Weltkrieg 1917 vollumfanglich zu erklaren.
The Story of a Clinical Neuropsychologist
From a disadvantaged childhood to becoming one of our best-loved clinical neuropsychologists, this exceptional book tells the life story of Barbara A. Wilson, who has changed the way we think about brain injury rehabilitation. Barbara’s story shows how it is possible to have a fulfilling career alongside a successful family life, even when faced with the deepest of personal tragedies; the death of her adult daughter Sarah. Clinical and neuropsychologists will recognise Barbara’s influence on rehabilitation practice and her tireless aim to get what is best for people needing neuropsychological rehabilitation. It will inspire those with brain injury and their families who may struggle to make life meaningful, as well as encourage readers to stick to their beliefs and triumph in the face of obstacles.
Nutrition and Stroke
When Jennie starts feeding the birds a mixture of jam, avocado dip and chewable vitamins, they grow into enormous bullies and get totally out of hand. Both the humorous story and the inspired satirical art are from the brilliant Michael Martchenko.
