Neurological principles and rehabilitation of action disorders: rehabilitation interventions

Valerie Pomeroy et al. Neurorehabil Neural Repair. 2011 Jun.

Abstract

This third chapter discusses the evidence for the rehabilitation of the most common movement disorders of the upper extremity. The authors also present a framework, building on the computation, anatomy, and physiology (CAP) model, for incorporating some of the principles discussed in the 2 previous chapters by Frey et al and Sathian et al in the practice of rehabilitation and for discussing potentially helpful interventions based on emergent neuroscience principles.
