   Adding a second note because I finished the remaining chapters: the material on disorders of consciousness and diagnostic error was outstanding. The authors give concrete strategies to avoid confounds—sedation, metabolic issues, and aphasia—before labeling a patient’s level of awareness. The checklists for bedside assessment paired with functional neuroimaging examples made our team more cautious and more hopeful in the right moments. The quality‑of‑life sections—including wellness groups for stroke survivors and women’s health in SCI—round out the science with humane care. It’s rare to see such breadth without losing clarity. I’ll be recommending this to our fellowship program.

   As a physician assistant in neurology, I’m often the translator between subspecialty recommendations and what can actually happen on a busy ward. This book respects that reality. I learned a lot from the cryoneurolysis for spasticity overview, including patient selection and counseling points. The psychopharmacogenomics chapter helped me frame expectations when families ask why a medication change might work better. I also liked the ALS update—succinct, compassionate, and operational. The overall tone is pragmatic and interdisciplinary, which matches the way our team practices. If you need an authoritative, one‑stop update that still fits into a clinic bag, this is it.

   Working as a rehabilitation nurse, I need protocols that keep patients safe while moving recovery forward. The early mobilization guidance includes clear vitals thresholds, autonomic warning signs for SCI, and a teamwork script that streamlines handoffs with PT and RT. The section on managing agitation after TBI is realistic about environmental triggers and offers medication tips that align with our physicians’ practice patterns. I also appreciated the concise bowel and bladder management tables for new SCI—great for teaching families. The writing is calm, evidence‑based, and specific enough to act on. It has improved my shift‑to‑shift consistency and reduced unnecessary calls to the on‑call provider.

   As an occupational therapist, I look for resources that translate to the next treatment hour. The Life Participation Approach to Aphasia chapter provides functional activities with measurable targets that my clients enjoy. Vision rehabilitation after stroke is explained with screening steps I can do at the bedside and simple adaptations for home carryover. The executive dysfunction material gives concrete task‑initiation and error‑awareness strategies that families can practice safely. Layout is clean, with quick tables for dosage, progression, and precautions. I’ve already built two new home programs from ideas in this book, and caregiver feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s the kind of practical depth OTs need.

   From a psychologist’s perspective, the book stands out for integrating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral rehabilitation rather than treating them as separate silos. The chapters on PTSD in the military, emotional dysregulation after TBI, and resilience training include session structures, language for goal setting, and validated measures. I especially liked the telehealth case studies using BEST to build emotional self‑awareness—simple, replicable, and respectful of patient agency. There’s also a thoughtful discussion of domestic violence–related TBI that helped our team coordinate care with social services. It’s refreshing to see mental health addressed as core rehab work rather than an afterthought. This is a resource I’ll keep on my desk.

   As a nurse practitioner coordinating transitions from acute care to inpatient rehab, I’m constantly juggling pressure ulcer prevention, medication changes, and family education. This book helped me tighten those workflows. The pressure‑injury chapter includes staging photos, debridement pearls, and a concise dressing guide that saved me time. The women’s health after SCI section is a rare find and has already improved how I approach bladder and bone‑health counseling. The pharmacologic treatment of dementia chapter summarizes evidence in plain language and flags interactions I see overlooked. It reads like a seasoned colleague sharing what actually works on busy units. Highly recommended for NPs and PAs who need practical, checklist‑friendly guidance.

   I bought this to sharpen my practice as a physical therapist, and it delivered. The coverage of lower extremity orthotics after stroke is excellent—clear indications, fitting tips, and practical gait‑training progressions. I used the shoulder‑after‑stroke section to redesign a patient’s plan with better scapular activation and pain control, and the results were obvious within a week. I also valued the sections on forced exercise for Parkinson’s and musculoskeletal overuse after SCI; both include stepwise progressions that respect fatigue and autonomic issues. The tone is professional but readable, with case vignettes that keep the guidance grounded. If you work in neuro, this gives you immediately usable tools rather than abstract theory.

   As a neurologist in a rehab hospital, I found this book unusually practical. The sections on early ICU mobilization and spasticity management go beyond theory with clear algorithms, red‑flag checklists, and sample progress notes I could adapt the same day. I also appreciated the balanced discussion of covert consciousness and functional neuroimaging; it helped me explain prognosis to families without over‑ or under‑promising. The chapters on AI decision support and brain–computer interfaces were cautious yet optimistic, which matches the pace of real clinical adoption. Overall, it reads like a thoughtful bridge between research and bedside care. My residents are already borrowing my copy, and our team has implemented two small protocol tweaks based on its recommendations with measurable improvements in LOS.
