Building on his earlier single-authored text, James Gage has recruited a team of experts from the range of disciplines involved in managing gait problems in cerebral palsy to make this book a state-of-the art resource. They examine the way the brain controls locomotion and the types of brain pathology present in cerebral palsy. Current treatment modalities and treatments of specific gait problems are discussed in detail, including modern computerized gait analysis and methods of assessing the child and evaluating treatment outcomes. An attached CD-ROM gives pre- and post-treatment examples and illustrates visually the process of gait analysis. Clinicians, therapists and bioengineers will find this a uniquely useful resource.
