Neurology — Chapters & Study Resources

Choose how you want to learn.

Connect neuroanatomy, examination findings and neurological conditions to meaningful PT decisions. Work from nervous-system foundations through stroke, spinal cord injury, vestibular rehabilitation and real-world participation.

Practice as you go

Each chapter ends with a question to check what you understood. Think through the relevant anatomy, clinical pattern or safety decision before comparing it with the lesson.

Connect the findings to function

Use the patient examples to identify a meaningful task, consider competing explanations, recognize when referral is needed and choose what to assess or train next. Prioritize the person’s goals and the real environment—not just a diagnostic label.
