Counter to the prevailing facilitation-inhibition models, Carr and Shepherd (both, physiotherapy, U. of Sydney) set forth their research and adaptive technology-based model for individuals with movement dysfunction. Such neurorehabilitation, building on often underestimated capacities, entails group practice as well as the usual one-to-one therapy. They cover: adaptation, training, and measurement; task-related exercise and training; and impairment and disability associated with brain lesion. Formerly published as Physiotherapy in Disorders of the Brain (date unspecified). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
