Understanding neural function is essential in diagnosing and supporting patients with neurological impairments. This book offers foundational knowledge of neurophysiology tailored for allied health learners. Topics include neuroanatomy, nerve conduction, reflexes, and central-peripheral nervous system functions. It also covers diagnostic tools such as EEG and EMG, and their interpretation. Clinical correlations with stroke, neuropathies, and seizures are discussed. The material supports learners working alongside neurology teams in diagnostic and rehabilitation roles.
