However, it is the neurosurgeon who should care for the functional rehabilitation of patients who are disabled by movement disorders, spasticity, epilepsy, pain, and disorders of the vegetative state as they suffer from acute or chronic central nervous system, spinal cord and peripheral nerve lesions. The papers in this volume highlight the state of the art, basic research, and clinical as well social-medical application of neurorehabilitation around the world, depending on different socio-cultural and economic situations as they were reported and discussed at recent international conferences and workshops of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Committee on Neurorehabilitation and the Euroacademia Multidisciplinaria Neurotraumatologica Highlights the basic research, clinical and social-medical application of neurorehabilitation around the world - as they were reported and discussed at international conferences and workshops of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Committee on Neurorehabilitation and the Euroacademia Multidisciplinaria Neurotraumatologica.
