It details the nature of CP, its causes and its clinical manifestations. Using clear, accessible language (supported by an extensive glossary) the authors have blended current science with metaphor both to explain the biomedical underpinnings of CP and to share their awareness that there is much that can be done to promote child and family development, enhance the capabilities of young people with CP, empower their families, and chart a course into adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors have reviewed classification and have emphasised the wide range of functional impairments that are seen in both children and adults with cerebral palsy. In doing so they have used the ICF framework and have described the range of interventions that may be applicable to people with cerebral palsy whilst emphasising that the condition is lifelong and that promotion of adaptation is a key component to understanding its nature and effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEssential reading for parents and carers of those with cerebral palsy, clinicians, paediatricians, neurologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword John Mantovani ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1 Cerebral Palsy - Background Perspectives\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What is cerebral palsy? 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Epidemiology: patterns and causes of cerebral palsy Niina Kolehmainen 14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Aetiological considerations 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 How is cerebral palsy categorized, why is this done and what are the potential pitfalls? 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 What does the designation 'cerebral palsy' tell us, and how does this relate to other developmental and neurological disabilities? 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 2 Contextual Factors and Critical Thinking\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Evaluating evidence 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Cerebral palsy and the family 76\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 3 Clinical Perspectives in Cerebral Palsy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Clinical recognition, diagnosis and assessment of children with cerebral palsy 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Principles of interventions 102\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Interventions: orthodox and heterodox.
