A Problem-Based Approach to Assessment and Management
This book is a practical resource for physiotherapists andThe first chapters provide the background to the clinical
reasoning approach that informs the whole text, as well as an
overview of therapeutic interventions. The subsequent chapters
present clinical situations that therapists will encounter in the
course of their work with individuals with cerebral palsy across
the lifespan. Each chapter describes a case in detail, including
the reasoning behind assessment and treatment choices,
interventions and outcomes.
The themes emphasized throughout the book are the use of the
clinical reasoning approach of the intervention process model, the
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
as a framework to help therapists inform patient and family
decision-making, family-centred approaches in developing and
implementing therapeutic strategies, and multidisciplinary team
work.
