Summary:

This book provides unique views on assessing and treating motor, cognitive, balance, and swallowing problems after neurological diseases, especially for the elderly. It shows that brain emotion and motor control networks are tightly integrated via the cingulate motor cortex and other hubs, and introduces how the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord work together to form a big central pattern generator (CPG) to control human walking. The book also highlights the core of motor training for stroke patients, that is, how to build a rational mode to exert force, and introduces a brief tool for assessing cognitive function. It also shows how to assess fall risks in community-dwelling elderly people, and introduces a sequential water swallowing test, a special protocol of FEES, and the oropharyngeal electrical-vibration stimulation to improve swallow function.
