Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for People with Cerebral Palsy: A Problem-Based Approach to Assessment and Management

 "Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for People With Cerebral Palsy is an excellent reference for physicians. For primary care clinicians, it presents a comprehensive overview of concerns, goals, and therapies throughout the life span. This is particularly useful for pediatricians as they support and guide parents through the period of diagnosis and provide referrals for specialized evaluations and services. Physician specialists in cerebral palsy, particularly orthopedists, should find this book an excellent resource when prescribing an unfamiliar therapeutic intervention. In addition, the appendix, "Assessment of the Individual With Cerebral Palsy," explains the purpose, validity, reliability, responsiveness, and clinical utility of common measurements used by therapists that should prove helpful when interpreting therapy progress notes."
