Motor System Disorders, Part II : Spinal Cord, Neurodegenerative, and Cerebral Disorders and Treatment

__Motor System Disorders, Part Two: Spinal Cord, Neurodegenerative, and Cerebral Disorders and Treatment__ provides a comprehensive review of research and best practice clinical management of spinal cord, neurodegenerative, and cerebral disorders. Encompassing hereditary and acquired disorders from disease and accident, the book explores motor control disorders associated with stroke, dementia, seizure, encephalitis, and more. Covering disorders of both children and adults, the book discusses the latest advances in treatments related to neuroplasticity, neural tissue transplantation, and immunotherapy. Foreword • M.J.
