Your patient’s stroke was six months ago, and progress has stalled. Are you missing the neuroplasticity window, or is this genuinely a plateau?

Every neurologic clinician faces this question daily. Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, vestibular disorders, and pediatric cerebral palsy each demand a different reasoning framework. Yet most references either overwhelm you with basic science or provide checklists without explaining the mechanisms behind them.

Without a working model of motor control, motor learning, and neuroplasticity, treatment choices can default to habit rather than evidence. Therapy sessions may plateau earlier than they should, and clinicians may struggle to justify their clinical reasoning to physicians, payers, and patients who ask why a specific intervention was chosen.

*Neurologic Interventions for Physical Therapy and Clinical Neuroscience* closes that gap with a 2026 edition designed for working clinicians and students who need both the underlying mechanisms and practical protocols in one place.

The book includes:

- 25 chapters covering stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, vestibular disorders, cerebellar ataxia, pediatric neurorehabilitation, gait analysis, and emerging neuromodulation technology.
- Evidence-based motor learning principles translated into practice schedules, feedback timing, and task-specific training protocols that clinicians can apply immediately.
- 50 detailed clinical illustrations created specifically for this edition, showing anatomical views, labeled structures, and diagnostic findings referenced throughout the text.
- Quick-reference clinical formatting, including rapid-review summaries, drug-dosing snapshots, and red-flag alert boxes for fast bedside consultation.
- A free companion video course accessible through the QR code printed inside the book, featuring more than 50 curated instructional videos organized according to the book’s chapter structure for visual learners.

Whether you are preparing for board certification, building a neurologic caseload, or refreshing your evidence-based practice after years in the field, this reference transforms motor control theory into decisions you can defend and outcomes you can measure.

Grounded in current ACC/AHA, ASIA, and clinical practice guideline standards, this book is written for physical therapists who want to understand the reasoning behind the protocol.
