PRAISE FOR
GAIT PROBLEMS IN CEREBRAL PALSY
“Realistic goal setting based on the child’s individual pathology is imperative, and taking the time and effort required to establish realistic goals with parents, and the child, are the first important steps in treatment [of gait problems]. [This book] will greatly assist the reader in this task”.
