Download or read book Vision Rehabilitation written by Penelope S. Suter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the information required to understand, advocate for, and supply post-acute vision rehabilitative care following brain injury, Vision Rehabilitation: Multidisciplinary Care of the Patient Following Brain Injury bridges the gap between theory and practice. It presents clinical information and scientific literature supporting the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies applied in a comprehensive overview of current diagnostic and treatment strategies in adult post-brain injury vision rehabilitation. Includes a foreword by Dr. Sue Barry Because post-brain injury rehabilitation works best in a team setting where the entire person can be treated, this text has been carefully designed as a multidisciplinary resource with an emphasis on models for working with the rehabilitation team. The book covers a myriad of topics such as post-brain injury vision rehabilitation; eye movements; binocular dysfunction; visual field loss; visual-spatial neglect; shifts in visual egocenter affecting balance and coordination; visual-vestibular interactions; central vs. peripheral visual attention; as well as deficits in object perception, visual memory, and visual cognition. The book details models that vision specialists working with the rehabilitation team can use to achieve the best success for the patient in rehabilitation; vision rehabilitation concepts and the science from which they have been developed; examples of therapeutic exercises; practice management information for the post-brain injury vision rehabilitation practice; and information on the legal process in which one frequently becomes involved in this type of work. Edited by eminent clinicians, the book highlights the work of contributors who are well-respected academicians and researchers, bringing together the clinical information that enables everyone involved in a brain injury case to grasp the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Download or read book Neuro optometric Rehabilitation written by William V. Padula and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an in-depth study of the various issues that lie at the core of appropriate neuro-optometric rehabilitation. Background material includes the relationship of vision to development; the examination of perception as it is affected by vision impairment; and how function and performance are impacted by the sensory component of the visual process. The next phase of understanding is the relationship between vision, posture and movement. Whether it is attempting to understand the relationship of vision and its influence on posture for a physically-disabled child or, how vision affects posture after a person has suffered a cerebral vascular accident or traumatic brain injury, the developmental nature of vision affecting the sensory motor system is the basis by which one establishes the framework for visual rehabilitation of the neurologically-challenged patient. The final chapters represent new directions in neuro-optometric rehabilitation with emphasis on post-trauma vision syndrome as well as visual midline shift syndrome, a new concept in thinking concerning the sensory distortions that can occur when there is a neurological interference in the sensory-motor system."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Visual Rehabilitation of Stroke A Translational Guide written by Carlo Aleci and published by . This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A consistent amount of patients with stroke and other brain injuries complain for the damage of their visual field. This defect, called hemianopia, is a dramatic event: half of the world seems to disappear all of a sudden. And the Moon is always crescent or waning. Never full. Within the current clinical setting, to date there is nothing ophthalmologists can do to return patients the wonderful sight of a full Moon. The Dogma is: "In the brain what is lost is lost". And the Dogma cannot be broken. Yet, since the past century research has been challenging the Dogma. Investigations reveal that the repetitive stimulation of the blind region of the visual field may restore, albeit partially, the neuronal function, and may improve the scanning ability. This treatise is a translational journey that sets out from the pioneering studies on the effects of brain lesions in wounded soldiers, passes through the mechanisms of spontaneous compensation of hemianopia, continues with the laboratory results, and comes to describing the rehabilitative techniques devised in the last decades. This fascinating journey, with its shadows, stops and go, reverses, confirmations and denials, has not yet come to an end. But it is firmly determined to re-illuminate the dark side of the Moon in these unfortunate patients. And you, dear Reader, are going to be the traveler. Carlo ALECI, Neuro-ophthalmologist, is professor on contract of Psychophysics of Vision at the University of Turin and Editor-in-Chief of Neuro-Ophthalmology & Visual Neuroscience. Author of international papers and books like Dyslexia: a Visual Approach and Measuring the Soul-Psychophysics for non-Psychophysicists, Carlo has recently devised an evidence-based protocol, the Moonlight Project, for rehabilitating hemianopic patients.

Download or read book Rehabilitation of Visual Disorders After Brain Injury written by Josef Zihl and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About twenty percent of patients with acquired brain injury suffer from visual deficits; the examination and treatment of these patients therefore represents a particular challenge in its own right. Furthermore, adequate visual perception is a crucial prerequisite for almost all cognitive and motor activities. Despite a long research tradition in visual neuroscience, the rehabilitation of cerebral visual deficits has, until recently, been neglected. This book is the first to report systematic observations on spontaneous recovery of cerebral visual deficits after acquired brain injury, and the outcome of treating these deficits. The whole range of human visual functions and capacities is covered: visual field, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, visual adaptation, color vision, visual space perception, and visual cognition. Additionally, there is a special section devoted to patients with central scotoma. All treatment procedures described are empirically founded. This highly innovative contribution to neuropsychological rehabilitation shows that the study of restitution and compensation of impaired and lost brain functions represents a unique opportunity to increase our understanding of brain plasticity. Of interest to both the practitioner and the scientist, it aims to stimulate further developments and improvements in the field.
