| Summary |
"With Movement Sciences, you will explore the motor control, learning, and development of children with movement disorders, allowing you to increase the effectiveness of pediatric therapy. This book provides cutting-edge information on common motor disabilities in children - such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or Erb's palsy - and how prehension, balance, and mobility are affected. Expert researchers and practitioners offer their findings and techniques for improving motor processes, using figures, tables, and extensive resources, to help you create effective pediatric rehabilitation programs."--BOOK JACKET |
