In this unique text the author presents an assessment tool which directly links functional performance in daily activities to neurobehavioural deficits the Arnadottir OT-ADL Neurobehavorial Evaluation (A-One). Split into two parts, the first carries out a literature review of functional neuroanatomy,neurophysiology, and neurobehaviour (assuming the reader already has a knowledge of these subjects) and relates it to observations of patientsneurobehavourial performance during ADL. The second part presents the A-One and its manual. Tables are used to condense and simply information, while illustrations are based on clinical situations encountered in real cases. A thorough guide to this assessment technique.
Background for performing ADL assessment; evaluation of cognitive perceptual dysfunction on a day-to-day basis.
The originator of the A-ONE neuro-behavioral assessment test explains to students and practitioners of occupational therapy how it can help them assess CNS dysfunction in their patients by using daily living activities. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
