Gait Problems in Cerebral Palsy (integrated online resource) focuses on the surgical care and postoperative rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy as they grow through early and late childhood, and adolescence. This resource integrates video and text material to offer a comprehensive experience.
The integrated online resource edition gives you opportunity to explore text and video content on one platform. It:
- Emphasizes the critical importance of dialogue with children and parents, and age-related data derived from the GOAL questionnaire is provided to focus insight on the priorities of patients and families.
- Presents descriptions of patient and family priorities, decision-making and surgical techniques, and rehabilitation therapies for each age group.
- Offers consistent chapter structures that emphasize clarity and brevity, supplemented by figures and tables.
- Highlights the importance of building collaborative multidisciplinary clinical teams.
- Includes access to 112 videos which demonstrate clinical teams at work with patients, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation activities.
Essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists, physical therapists, kinesiologists, gait analysis experts, and other members of the interdisciplinary team involved.
This new title is the evolution of the highly influential Identification and Treatment of Gait Problems in Cerebral Palsy, 2nd Edition, edited by James Gage, Michael Schwartz, Steven Koop, and Tom Novacheck, published by Mac Keith Press in 2009.
