Description

This comprehensive test has been developed from the considerable clinical and teaching experience of the authors. The book addresses the major topics in the treatment of CNS patients. Particular attention is paid to theoretical bases, the importance of understanding normal motion, kinesiology of everyday movement, and to treatment goals. It provides the therapist with detailed assessment and treatment planning information, and shows how to use this information to develop and enhance practice. The text presents normal components and the related abnormal kinesiological components, and relates them to problems that arise in practice. A problem-solving approach is adopted throughout.
