Providing a solid foundation in the normal development of functional movement, this text prepares students to recognize and understand movement disorders and effectively manage patients with abnormal motor function. Evidence-based information and tools make it easier to manage patients' functional skills throughout the life span. This edition includes more clinical examples and applications, integrates the use of ICF (International Classification of Function), and updates data relating to typical performance on standardized tests of balance.
