6th Edition
by Sophie Levitt (Author), Anne Addison (Author)
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.
