Trauamtic Brain Injury Physical Therapist Uses Approaches

As a physical therapist treating clients with traumatic brain injuries I have found Ms. Farber's book an invaluable tool in increasing my understanding of the complexities of the central nervous system. I have used approaches outlined in this text to guide me in development of treatment programs to both facilitate and inhibit desirable cognitive, behavioral, and motor outcomes. Particularly helpful to me have been the information presented regarding the autonomic nervous system and the sensory stimulation that can be used to influence levels of arousal in the comatose or obtunded client or decrease the agitation in clients with disorganized cortical activity.
