Introduction[edit | edit source]
According to Ryerson (2008) assessment in neurological physiotherapy is a process of collecting information about disordered movement patterns, underlying impairments, activity restrictions, and societal participation for the purpose of intervention planning. While Bernhardt & Hill (2005) outline that the purpose of assessment is to help the therapist determine the best intervention.
Guiding Principles[edit | edit source]
Lennon and Bassile (2009) put forward eight guiding principles for neurological physiotherapists which look at an holistic approach to provide a strong framework for development of your treatment plan.
