Writing a comprehensive scientific book about the cerebral palsy is a great challenge. Many different interventions are available for persons with CP. Increasingly, it is recognized that intervention needs to be evidence-based and family-centered. Related therapies can offer improvement in some cases but do not offer a cure. Lifelong re/habilitation (habilitation and rehabilitation) in person with cerebral palsy is the first part of this book which has four chapters about management in children and adults with cerebral palsy through the life span, providing support and services. Three chapters of the second part are exploring the new therapy options which could improve the family quality of life. Third part has two chapters about complementary therapies with new possibilities for the future.

Questo volume riassume i principali elementi relativi alla funzione cammino nel bambino sano (sviluppo della funzione, meccanismi neurofisiologici e aspetti biomeccanici), prerequisiti fondamentali per poter comprendere i disturbi del cammino nel bambino affetto da paralisi cerebrale infantile (PCI). Vengono trattati i segni clinici tipici manifestati nel cammino dai bambini con PCI, la modalità per valutarli e interpretarli al fine di comprendere l’inquadramento diagnostico e prognostico relativo alla funzione in esame. Successivamente, vengono presentati gli ausili e le ortesi, e la loro possibile funzione all’interno del progetto riabilitativo. Il volume si conclude con una sezione di casi clinici, che descrive il processo di costruzione della seduta fisioterapica e le modalità di svolgimento attraverso esempi concreti di setting, esercizi terapeutici e proposte di compiti finalizzati. Il testo, rivolto principalmente ai fisioterapisti e ai terapisti della neuro-psicomotricità dell’età evolutiva e agli allievi delle lauree di I e II livello dell’area della riabilitazione, potrà destare interesse anche in altri professionisti come i tecnici ortopedici e i terapisti occupazionali.

This well-crafted text discusses the theory and techniques used by physical and occupational therapists and is a derivative of Dr. Miller's highly regarded reference, Cerebral Palsy. The book is conveniently divided into two sections. The first focuses on fundamental aspects of cerebral palsy management, from understanding motor impairment to evaluating equipment use. The second section presents specific rehabilitation techniques, including neurodevelopment therapy, hippotherapy, and assistive devices. A wealth of tables, algorithms and detailed illustrations helps the reader with the decision-making process for determining what treatment would be most beneficial. With its thorough and clinically-oriented approach, physical therapists who care for cerebral palsy patients will find this book invaluable to their practice.

Questo volume analizza il concetto di fisioterapia nella accezione del “prendersi cura”, riprendendo le nozioni teorico-pratiche poste alla base della disciplina. Il principale tema affrontato è l’evoluzione e le possibili modalità di trattamento dei disturbi della postura seduta nel bambino con paralisi cerebrale infantile. Vengono affrontate le basi metodologiche su cui si basa il programma riabilitativo e messo a fuoco l’esercizio fisioterapico: dalla distinzione fra difetto e compenso alla definizione del problema principale, dall’individuazione degli obiettivi del trattamento alla costruzione della seduta fisioterapica. Nella seconda parte viene effettuata un’analisi della postura seduta nel bambino sano in relazione allo sviluppo neuromotorio, ai meccanismi neurofisiologici e agli aspetti biomeccanici. In seguito vengono illustrati i segni clinici tipici dell’organizzazione posturo-motoria dei bambini con PCI e viene descritta la modalità per valutarli e interpretarli al fine dell’inquadramento diagnostico e prognostico. La scelta degli ausili e delle ortesi e la loro possibile funzione all’interno del progetto riabilitativo completano l’argomento. Il testo si conclude con la presentazione di alcuni casi clinici per illustrare in modo operativo la costruzione della seduta fisioterapica nei suoi vari aspetti (setting, esercizio terapeutico, compiti e proposte). Il volume è rivolto a fisioterapisti e terapisti della neuro-psicomotricità dell’età evolutiva, e agli allievi delle lauree di I e II livello dell’area della riabilitazione. Potrà destare interesse anche in altri professionisti come i tecnici ortopedici e i terapisti occupazionali.  .

Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition that affects the individual, family, and immediate community. Therefore, the goal of allowing the individual with cerebral palsy to live life with the least impact of the disability requires c- plex attention to the individual and the family. Furthermore, society needs to be sensitive and to accommodate individuals with disabilities by limiting architectural impediments and providing accessible public transportation and communication. The educational system provides the key means for helping the individual prepare to function in society to his or her maximum ability. In many ways, the medical care system probably has the least sign- icant role in preparing the child with cerebral palsy to function optimally in society. However, the medical care system is the place where parents first learn that their child has developmental issues outside the expected norm. It is almost universally the place where parents also expect the child to be made normal in our modern society. In earlier times, the parents would expect healing to possibly come from the doctor, but also they would place hope for healing in religion. As this belief in spiritual or miraculous healing has - creased, a significant font of hope has decreased for parents of young ch- dren with disabilities.
