Physical Therapy for Children

Used as both a core textbook in PT programs and as a clinical reference, Physical Therapy for Children, 4th Edition,
provides the essential information needed by PTs, both student and professional, when working with children. Like the
previous bestselling editions, the 4th edition follows the practice pattern categories of the Guide to Physical
Therapist Practice and uses the IFC model of the disabling process as it presents up-to-date evidence-based coverage of
treatment. In this latest edition, Suzann Campbell DeLapp, Robert J. Palisano, and Margo N. Orlin have added more case
studies and video clips, additional chapters and Medline-linked references online, and Evidence to Practice boxes to
make it easy to find and remember important information.
