This book describes the use of gait analysis in the treatment of cerebral palsy. It begins with an introduction to the condition and describes the basic measurement techniques including the physical examination of the child with cerebral palsy, observational assessment of gait, and modern methods of gaitanalysis. The author then discusses the neurological control system for normal and pathological gait and the general principles employed in treatment. The specifics of treatment of hemiplegia, diplegia, and quadriplegia are elucidated using specific care examples. The book concludes with a discussion of aftercare and post-treatment assessment of outcome.
