This book is the result of studies on cerebral palsy (CP) in children that the authors and their collaborators (medical doctors and therapists) have carried out in recent years. It addresses the main topics associated with the evaluation of adaptive functions in the spastic forms of CP (definition and modifications over the most recent decades, newly classified orientations, etiopathogenesis, anatomic–functional correlations, semiotics, and the so-called associated disorders: visual, cognitive, and behavioral). The main goal of this book is to offer readily accessible information on the nature of the disease, the problems correlated with prognosis, and the rehabilitation. Because of its instructive nature and practical approach, the book will be an invaluable tool for practitioners already working in this field (medical doctors, child neuropsychiatrists and physiatrists, and rehabilitation therapists), for university students studying physical and occupational therapy, and for residents in rehabilitative medicine, child neurology, and orthopedics.

Il libro, frutto delle riflessioni sulla paralisi cerebrale infantile (PCI) che gli autori ed i loro collaboratori, medici e terapisti, hanno condotto negli ultimi anni, affronta i principali temi connessi alla valutazione delle funzioni adattive nelle forme spastiche della PCI (la definizione e le sue modifiche negli ultimi decenni, i nuovi orientamenti classificativi, l'eziopatogenesi, le correlazioni anatomo-funzionali, la semeiotica, i cosiddetti "disturbi associati": visivi, cognitivi, del comportamento). Lo scopo principale del volume non è quello di riportare lo "stato dell'arte" su questi argomenti, ma di offrire "appunti di viaggio" sui temi trattati, per suscitare riflessioni e confronti con l'esperienza dei lettori. Gli argomenti vengono trattati dagli autori secondoun'ottica fisiopatologica che guida la loro interpretazione della natura del difetto (diagnosi funzionale), dei problemi legati alla prognosi (come ipotesi di storia naturale) e alla riabilitazione (come modifica dell'architettura della funzione in senso adattivo). Il testo è corredato di un ampio glossario sui termini utilizzati e di un DVD con casi clinici, suddivisi in base alla classificazione proposta degli autori. Anche questo materiale sottolinea la grande utilità didattica del volume, sia per chi già lavora in questo campo (medici, neuropsichiatri infantili e fisiatri, terapisti della riabilitazione), sia per gli allievi delle lauree di I e II livello dell'area della riabilitazione e delle Scuole di Specializzazione.

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.
