Dr. Miller's valuable resource helps members of the medical team navigate the complexity of cerebral palsy care by explaining unfamiliar treatments that fall outside of their own disciplines.

• Readers also benefit from a review of current practices in their own fields.
• Includes recommended treatment algorithms and is designed to help improve decision making.
• Written in a very conversational style and illustrated with lots of color the volume provides rehabilitational (part 1) and surgical aspects (part 2).
• Accomplished by a CD-ROM which provides lots of case studies - including walking analysis.
• The most comprehensive title on this topic written by a leading expert.
