Physiotherapy in Pediatrics

With increased research findings the physiotherapy for movement-disabled individuals is changing from the neurophysiologic or neurodevelopmental therapeutic approach to a movement science based approach. This book includes chapters on: development of movement and skill, training motor control and optimizing motor teaming, maturational, pathophysiological and recovery processes in the CNS. All remaining chapters have been updated to include the clinical relevance of recent scientific developments. The references and additional reading lists have been expanded to guide the student of paediatric physiotherapy towards useful further reading. This book remains an indispensible guide to paediatric physiotherapy for the student and practitioner physiotherapist.
