Περιγραφή
Gain a solid foundation in physical therapy for infants, children, and adolescents! Campbell’s Physical Therapy for Children, 6th Edition provides essential information on pediatric physical therapy practice, management of children with musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions, and special practice settings. Following the APTA’s Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, this text describes how to assess and evaluate health problems, select evidence-based interventions, and help children improve their range of motion, flexibility, and strength.

Palisano, this book is ideal for use by students and by clinicians in daily practice.
