In addition, there are quizzes to test the readers knowledge. This is a wonderful teaching tool. This is valuable for all clinicians . this book will be useful for physicians who are new to the area of cerebral palsy ." (Eileen Fowler, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (20), 2007)
Product Description
This book is a derivative of Dr. Millers well-regarded Cerebral Palsy and focuses on rehabilitation techniques. The book discusses the theory and techniques used by physical and occupational therapists, and also provides suggestions for implementing an Individual Education Plan. Tables and algorithms are included to help in the decision-making process for determining what treatment would be most beneficial. Chapters in section one deal with fundamental aspects of cerebral palsy management, from understanding motor impairment, to evaluating equipment use, to navigating the relationship with the families of patients. In section two, physical therapists cover specific rehabilitation techniques, including neurodevelopment therapy, hippotherapy, and assistive devices. On the accompanying CD there are more than 100 case studies, as well as videos of children with gait disorders.
