This book represents the final work of the late Professor C. David Marsden, and serves as the 'clinical Bible' for the management of movement disorders. Extensively illustrated with many original photographs and diagrams of historical significance that have not been published previously, it is an essential reference not just for movement disorder specialists and researchers, but also for clinicians who care for patients with these disorders.Less

This resource covers the basic science and clinical concepts underlying the movement disorders, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of individual hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders. Specifically written to aid understanding and treatment of a wide range of movement disorders, it includes a useful section covering miscellaneous causes of disordered movement that are routinely encountered by neurologists. Although firmly rooted in evidence-based management approaches, the authors also include their own top tips and experience on the management of difficult cases where no current guidance existsLess

Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Clinical Neurology series, the Oxford Textbook of Neuromuscular Disorders covers the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and treatment of neuromuscular disorders with a particular focus on the most clinically relevant disorders. The resource is organized into seven sections, starting with the general approach to the patient with neuromuscular disorders and then focusing on specific neuromuscular conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system from its origins at the spinal cord anterior horn on its outward course to their effector muscles and the inbound sensory pathways. Chapters on specific neuromuscular conditions are illustrated with typical case histories and their presenting features, allowing readers to put rarer conditions into their clinical context more easily.

The Oxford Textbook of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease is a comprehensive resource on clinical stroke, covering all major aspects of cerebrovascular disease, including epidemiology, risk factors, primary prevention, pathophysiology, diagnostics, clinical features, acute therapies, secondary prevention, prognosis, and rehabilitation. It makes use of current pedagogic principles, and includes not only aspects on management in the acute hospital phase of stroke, but also public health issues, prevention, long-term management, and silent vascular disease (which is becoming increasingly epidemic in the general population). Topical aspects also include advice to improve clinical skills in examination, diagnosing, and treating stroke. It also covers the fields of silent cerebrovascular disease (silent brain infarcts, microbleeds, white matter ischemic abnormalities) that more recently have been recognized to be highly prevalent in the general population, and that carry important risks on vascular events and cognitive decline/dementia.Less

The Oxford Textbook of Vertigo and Imbalance provides an up-to-date summary of the scientific basis, clinical diagnosis, and management of specific disorders leading to dizziness and poor balance.
