This volume explores the intersection of neurological conditions and maternal health, focusing on pregnancy and postpartum recovery. While medical texts highlight clinical and diagnostic considerations, this book uniquely centers on functional impact, rehabilitation strategies, and maternal role participation. It emphasizes how neurological disorders affect not just physical health but also caregiving, emotional regulation, occupational identity, and quality of life. Each chapter addresses psychosocial, cognitive, sensory, motor, and environmental needs, with practical interventions and real-world considerations woven throughout. With contributors from neurology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology, and social work, this book offers a practical, evidence-informed, and trauma-aware framework necessary for professionals working with pregnant and postpartum individuals.
