NEUROREHABILITATION ESSENTIALS: Evidence-Based Neurologic Interventions, Motor Control, and Functional Recovery Strategies for Physical and Occupational Therapy Practice by Merritt Langdon MD

Rehabilitation professionals managing patients with neurologic conditions need a clinical reference that connects the science of motor control and neural recovery with the practical interventions they deliver every day — without wading through dense neuroscience texts or piecing together strategies from scattered sources. Many neurorehabilitation references lean heavily toward theory while leaving clinicians to bridge the gap to bedside practice on their own. Others focus narrowly on a single diagnosis or treatment approach, forcing therapists to consult multiple volumes for comprehensive patient management. Meanwhile, the neuroscience of recovery continues to advance — neuroplasticity research is reshaping how we understand motor relearning, updated motor control models are redefining assessment and intervention planning, and evolving evidence for rehabilitation effectiveness demands a resource that reflects where the field stands right now, not where it stood a decade ago. Neurorehabilitation Essentials: Evidence-Based Neurologic Interventions, Motor Control, and Functional Recovery Strategies for Physical and Occupational Therapy Practice was designed to close this gap. This evidence-based clinical guide integrates neurologic pathophysiology, motor control science, and functional recovery strategies into a single, practice-oriented volume built for physical and occupational therapy professionals. Every topic connects assessment findings to clinical reasoning to intervention selection — giving you the knowledge framework and practical tools to optimize rehabilitation outcomes across the full spectrum of neurologic diagnoses.
