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.

Nowadays, cerebral palsy (CP) rehabilitation, along with medical and surgical interventions in children with CP, leads to better motor and postural control and can ensure ambulation and functional independence. In achieving these improvements, many modern practices may be used, such as comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment, clinical decision making, multilevel surgery, botulinum toxin applications, robotic ambulation applications, treadmill, and other walking aids to increase the quality and endurance of walking. Trainings are based on neurodevelopmental therapy, muscle training and strength applications, adaptive equipment and orthotics, communication, technological solves, and many others beyond the scope of this book. In the years of clinical and academic experiences, children with cerebral palsy have shown us that the world needs a book to give clinical knowledge to health professionals regarding these important issue. This book is an attempt to fulfill and to give “current steps” about CP. The book is intended for use by physicians, therapists, and allied health professionals who treat/rehabilitate children with CP. We focus on the recent concepts in the treatment of body and structure problems and describe the associated disability, providing suggestions for further reading. All authors presented the most frequently used and accepted treatment methods with scientifically proven efficacy and included references at the end of each chapter.

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.
