Vestibular RehabilitationA text providing a thorough introduction to vestibular disorders for rehabilitation students and a comprehensive resource for clinicians treating patients with vestibular dysfunction. Chapters on vestibular anatomy and physiology, vestibular adaptation, and the role of the vestibular system in postural control provide the basis for understanding how the normal vestibular system functions. The main concern, however, is the assessment of patients with vestibular disorders and the development of different treatments. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
