2013, vol. 3, núm 2

 

This volume 3, number 2 gathers a set of articles based on the most outstanding research on accessibility and disability issues that was presented in the International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation 2012 (ICNR). The articles’ research present in this number is centred on the analysis and/or rehabilitation of body impairment most due to brain injury and neurological disorders. JACCES thanks the collaboration of the ICNR members and the research authors and reviewers that have collaborated in making possible that issue.
