Gain a solid foundation in physical therapy for infants, children, and adolescents! Campbell's Physical Therapy for Children, 7th 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 examine and evaluate children, select evidence-based interventions, and measure outcomes to help children improve their body functions, activities, and participation.

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