Introduction

Neurological Assessment Scales: Clinical and Research Perspectives is a practical guide to neurological assessment tools used in both clinical practice and research, with a strong focus on physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation. The book helps clinicians and researchers select appropriate scales for accurate, evidence-based evaluation across a wide range of neurological conditions.

The book covers major domains such as spasticity, ataxia, cognition, balance, coma, and neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Each chapter focuses on specific assessment scales (e.g., Ashworth, Tardieu, GCS, FOUR, UPDRS, SARA, ICARS) along with their administration, scoring methods, psychometric properties, strengths, limitations, and clinical applications.

The book also includes detailed scoring guidelines, reliability and validity data, multilingual adaptations, and practical tips for use in fast-paced clinical and research settings.
