Neurosensory Disorders in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Neurosensory Disorders in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury brings together both the basic science work and clinical work in mTBI into one volume to provide a comprehensive examination of the neurosensory issues associated with this disorder. Despite a great deal of study and public attention to this disorder, knowledge about optimal diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment information remains lacking. Coverage in this book includes chapters on defining mild Traumatic Brain Injury, neurosensory consequences, neurosensory disorders in clinical practice, and the diagnosis and treatment for neurosensory disorders in mTBI. This book is written for clinicians, researchers, residents and students in neurology and neuroscience. As Mild traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI or Concussion) is an increasingly common public health issue prevalent in sports, military environments, and life in today's active world, this book provides a timely update on the topic. Provides a comprehensive examination of the neurosensory issues associated with mild Traumatic Brain Injury and concussionBrings together both the basic science work and the clinical work in mTBI into a single volumeHelps clinicians understand the best diagnosis and treatment paths and puts current research into perspective for researchers INDICE: Section 1: Defining Mild TBI 1.
