Children and Youth with Complex Cerebral Palsy: Care and Management

View in library catalog

Children with complex cerebral palsy (typically, but not always, GMFCS levels IV and V) require skilled management and extensive expertise which can be overwhelming or intimidating for many clinicians. This book explores management of the medical and related comorbidities these children often encounter, including orthopaedic concerns, mobility and equipment needs, cognition and sensory impairment, difficult behaviours, seizures, respiratory complications, nutritional challenges, and bone fragility, among others.
