Treatment of Cerebral Palsy and Motor Delay

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Treatment of Cerebral Palsy and Motor Delay is a highly practical, easy-to-read resource for all paediatric practitioners and students working with the developmental abilities and difficulties of children, providing a thorough overview of cerebral palsy and its treatment.

The sixth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to integrate the latest evidence-base on motor control and motor learning, whilst still retaining Sophie Levitt's eclectic, holistic and functional approach. It includes greater detail on paediatric occupational therapy, classification systems, the latest systematic reviews of research, as well as an expanded chapter on adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy. The chapter on equipment has also been increased so as to be of further relevance to occupational therapists.

Supported by clear diagrams and photographs, as well as summaries to consolidate learning, it outlines therapeutic approaches and suggests treatment and management options, providing a wealth of practical information. The book promotes positive relationships between therapists, people with cerebral palsy and their families.

Rezensionen

"It is a pleasure to welcome the sixth edition of this book. It is the distillation of the knowledge and practice of two distinguished therapists who have wide experience in all aspects of evaluating and treating children and young people with motor disorders, particularly cerebral palsy... This book remains essential for those managing children with disability." - Dr Lewis Rosenbloom, Honorary Consultant Paediatric Neurologist, Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool, UK.

"... supports the continued development of best practices for working with these individuals, providing realistic interventions and management strategies ... The book is authored by well-respected and credentialed individuals in the field ... Overall, this is a very thorough and easy-to-follow book ... The book does a nice job of indicating when additional resources may be available to support learning. It meets the need for a comprehensive resource on the best practices for management of cerebral palsy and includes enhanced information on adolescents and adults, a needed focus for therapists." - Doddy's Book Review, April 2019
