Cerebral Palsy: A Practical Guide for Families: Understanding Motor Problems, Their Effect on Walking, Language, and Management Throughout Life

An encouraging and fact-based manual for dealing with cerebral palsy and living a full life.
A must-read for experts, parents, and those who have CP. The most frequent cause of physical disabilities with childhood onset is cerebral palsy (CP). There hasn’t been a book specifically devoted to this issue before to aid this enormous population. The motor issues—problems with the bones, muscles, and joints—and how they affect walking are the main topics of this book. The severity of the problem is indicated by the Gross Motor Function Classification Scheme (GMFCS), a five-level system.
The book discusses the lifelong progression of cerebral palsy and describes evidence-based, best-practice therapies. It gives parents of young children, adolescents, and adults with the condition the power to be better co-decision-makers and advocates in the healthcare system. This upbeat, yet helpful book emphasizes getting the most out of action and participation—living life to the fullest. This book will be useful for extended family members, educators, health care providers, and students.

This wonderful, much-needed resource for cerebral palsy was written by Dr. Angel Ritchie, a pediatrician at a renowned center of excellence for CP treatment and the family doctor of a girl with the condition.
