Neuro-Developmental Treatment-1판

This comprehensive volume provides vital support for both novice and experienced practitioners of Neuro-Developmental
Treatment (NDT) by integrating the latest theoretical foundations of NDT with real-life practice examples. The book is
the culmination of a 5-year project by instructors of the Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association to develop an up-to-
date guide to the neurorehabilitation approach originally developed by Karl and Berta Bobath. With a large section of
case studies in the book, additional online case studies, and supplemental materials including videos, tables, and
photos, this book makes it simple to learn the practical aspects of neuro-developmental treatment.
