Physiatry: Introduction, General Concepts and Evaluation in Rehabilitation

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Un compendio exhaustivo de la Medicina Física y Rehabilitación (PM&R). Desde los modelos teóricos de la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento (CIF) y la neurofisiología de la plasticidad sináptica, hasta la evaluación biomecánica avanzada, análisis instrumental de la marcha y estrategias terapéuticas interdisciplinarias.
