FOREWORD
Neurological rehabilitation is an exciting field that is getting very
relevant in both scientific achievements as well as in the health and
social care.
This volume is assembling together most of the
contributions that have been presented by scientists from all over the
world regarding many aspects of neurological rehabilitation in
physiopathological and medical application as well as in the
psychological and social aspects.
We do hope that the 3rd World Congress, of
which this volume contains the Proceedings, will represent a reference
point in increasing the knowledge of this relevant field as well as in
the stimulating further steps in the scientific research and in the
medical and social advances of neurological rehabilitation.
