No other textbook gives physical therapy assistants complete, focused insight into their role in treating and managing common pediatric conditions. You'll find coverage of topics ranging from neurological rehabilitation to sports injuries and congenital disorders, as well as in-depth discussions of atypical development and pathologies. Each chapter follows a consistent, well-organized approach that defines each disorder, describes the appropriate physical therapy assessment and intervention, and rounds out the discussion with relevant case study examples based on established practice patterns.

      • Elsevier is committed to making our eBooks accessible and complying with applicable laws. Given our vast library of titles, there are some cases where making an eBook fully accessible presents unique challenges, and including full features could transform its nature to no longer serve its primary purpose or result in a disproportionate burden for the publisher. As a result this eBook may have limited accessibility. See more at https://www.elsevier.com/en-gb/about/accessibility.
      • Please refer to our disproportionate burden or fundamental modification statements.

Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
