The Clinical Practice of Pediatric Physical Therapy provides students and clinicians with an intervention-focused approach to pediatric physical therapy. Beginning with an overview of developmental theories and the foundations of assessment, examination, and evaluation, this text will discuss various conditions and their manifestations in the pediatric population, along with interventions tailored to the population. The text then concludes with legal issues impacting pediatric physical therapy practice and an examination of the "transition" to adult services.
