PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR NEUROLOGICAL, NEUROSURGICAL AND MENTAL DISEASES
Physiotherapy for neurological, neurosurgical and mental diseases is intended for the physiotherapy students – medical rehabilitator occupational therapist. It can be used by physical therapists and rehabilitators.
It describes exemplary methods of physiotherapy for certain diseases and injuries of the nervous system, neurosurgical and mental diseases. An attempt was made to give the basic principles in the compilation of a methodology for conducting physiotherapy in the different periods of the course of the disease process, including in the clinics and departments of intensively treatment and resuscitation. Each patient is assessed individually depending on the nature and course of the disease, the type of treatment (conservative, surgical), age, general physical condition, etc.
There should be no pattern in working with patients.
The textbook summarizes the professional experience of leading clinicians, physiotherapists and personal experience in line with modern trends in physiotherapy.
It does not describe physiotherapy for all diseases and the details of its application. We hope that this will greatly stimulate students' creative, logical thinking, assimilation of information from other sources for its application in practice.
I believe that this textbook will be useful for the professional training of physical therapists in Bulgaria and for patients in need of physiotherapy.
The textbook can also be used by rehabilitators.
