Download or read book Orthopedic Care of Patients with Cerebral Palsy written by Philip D. Nowicki and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the existing books focusing on the orthopedic management of patients with cerebral palsy encompass only care for the young patient, but this practical text reviews and delineates orthopedic care for patients with cerebral palsy throughout the lifespan. Readers will find a discussion of both non-operative and operative orthopedic management across all ages and functional levels. The text presents a general overview of cerebral palsy, evaluation of patients with cerebral palsy, and procedures commonly used to treat various orthopedic conditions in patients with cerebral palsy. Spasticity management and gait evaluation are likewise highlighted, and surgical chapters cover techniques for the hip, knee, foot and ankle, and spine. It also incorporates chapters focused on issues related to the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy, including bracing, orthotics and other durable medical equipment, physical and occupational therapy, pain management, and adaptive activities and sports, which aim to improve the overall quality of life for patients through the lifespan. Finally, there is a chapter focused on the care transition from childhood to adulthood, an area of importance often neglected in current texts covering patients with cerebral palsy. Whether in the operating room, multi-specialty clinic or private office, Orthopedic Care of Patients with Cerebral Palsy will be a go-to resource for orthopedists, pediatricians and all medical professionals caring for this population.

Download or read book Orthopedic Management of Children with Cerebral Palsy written by Jacques Deslandes and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each child with cerebral palsy is absolutely unique and the professionals looking after the child must provide an evaluation of his or her specific situation. In publishing this book, the editors and authors have followed a well-defined theme: even if the initial focus is orthopedics, it is aimed towards a comprehensive approach to understanding children with cerebral palsy. The reader who is aware of the orthopedic problems encountered in cerebral palsy will find the most recent data regarding various aspects of the pathology enlightening. It will also give them the opportunity to find answers to questions professionals regularly ask themselves: what are the necessary checks-ups to be done in other areas, what other measures need to be planned (whether medical, paramedical, school-related, family or socially-oriented), and how to fit all of these in with orthopedics. This book offers an approach by a group of cerebral palsy specialists who are culturally open to the worldwide community, but whom also hold on to their specific disciplines and origins as well as their differences as source of cultural wealth. This book focuses on the comprehensive approach to understanding children with cerebral palsy and beyond, to the care extended to their families, to the patient's educational life as well as to their very unique being and identity.

This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book, published by W. B. Saunders in 1979, is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative texts on the subject; it is also a model of brevity and clarity. Because of the great advances in the field in recent years the author has now produced a thorough revision. There is an entirely new chapter on special assessment methods and new sections on gait analysis, neurobiology, physical and occupational therapy, goals and methods of treatment, and parent counseling. The section on surgical treatment has been updated and includes new data and studies on paralytic dislocation of the hip and its prevention and the management of scoliosis in cerebral palsy. The bibliography has also been expanded and brought up to date, and many of the illustrations are completely new. The book will be invaluable for orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists (physicians who deal with physical therapy), developmental pediatricians, physical and occupational therapists, rehabilitationists, and child neurologists. The central chapter, on past and current therapy methods, will be especially useful to give practicing physicians (who are asked to approve such therapies) knowledge on their hypotheses and efficacy.

The book is divided into two parts. The first is designed to help the reader evaluate and understand a child with cerebral palsy. It deals with neurological control, musculoskeletal growth, and normal gait, as well as cerebral injury, growth deformities and gait pathology in children with cerebral palsy. The second section is a comprehensive overview of management. It emphasizes the most fundamental concept of treatment: manage the child's neurologic dysfunction first and then address the skeletal and muscular consequences of that dysfunction. The book has been thoroughly updated since the previous edition, with a greater focus on treatment and several entirely new topics covered, including chapters on the operative treatment of orthopaedic deformities.

Clinicians and scientists are paired to discuss the current state of knowledge, working at the border of what we know and what we don't, to advance the care of those with gait impairment due to cerebral palsy. Using authors with different focus, points of view, and ways of thinking, to help establish a framework to guide research efforts for the next five years and to ensure that progress continues to be made to improve the quality of life for those with gait impairments. Disparate topics are unified by a common format of bulleted key points and objectives at the beginning of each chapter and research goals at the end to make the results more rapidly accessible. Focus on gait and mobility in a clear, well-structured format. Enhances debate and exploration of issues.

Download or read book Cerebral Palsy written by Freeman Miller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-05-08 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don't come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child's second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, this authoritative resource provides parents and families with vital information that can help them cope with uncertainty. Thoroughly updated and revised to incorporate the latest medical advances, the second edition is a comprehensive guide to cerebral palsy. The book is organized into three parts. In the first, the authors describe specific patterns of involvement (hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia), explain the medical and psychosocial implications of these conditions, and tell parents how to be effective advocates for their child. In the second part, the authors provide a wealth of practical advice about caregiving from nutrition to mobility. Part three features an extensive alphabetically arranged encyclopedia that defines and describes medical terms and diagnoses, medical and surgical procedures, and orthopedic and other assistive devices. Also included are lists of resources and recommended reading.
