جزئیات آسیب شناسی و تاثیر آن بر سیستم اسکلتی عضلانی تحقیق، درمان و تکنیک های مدیریت بیمار را پوشش می دهد مدیریت پزشکی کودکان معلول را بررسی می کند این نسخه جدید به سه جلد افزایش می یابد و بخش های موجود در زمینه مدیریت پزشکی کودکان فلج مغزی، تحقیق، آموزش و درمان را به میزان قابل توجهی گسترش می دهد. جلد اول علت CP، آسیب شناسی زمینه ای در مغز و آسیب شناسی های ثانویه در بافت های مختلف مانند ماهیچه و استخوان را پوشش می دهد. بسیاری از بحث ها و تکنیک های جدید مانند اسکن PET وجود دارد که برای تشخیص زودهنگام توجه بیشتری را به خود جلب می کند. هنوز مشخص نیست که آیا تشخیص زودهنگام تفاوت طولانی مدت ایجاد می کند یا خیر. اپیدمیولوژی نیز مورد بحث قرار خواهد گرفت. جلد دوم بر نگرانیهای پزشکی عمومی مرتبط با CP در هر یک از تخصصهای پزشکی و بخش اسکلتی عضلانی - که تمرکز اصلی نسخه قبلی بود، تمرکز خواهد کرد. این جلد با تاکید بر اختلالات راه رفتن، اسپاستیسیتی، تشنج و اختلالات حرکتی به روز خواهد شد. تحقیقات و تکنیک های جدید در ناحیه باسن و ستون فقرات نیز اضافه خواهد شد. جلد سوم و آخر یک منبع گسترده و جامع در مورد درمان ها خواهد بود. جزئیات بیشتر در مورد آخرین تحقیقات و تکنیک های نتیجه همراه با بخش هایی در مورد ارتز و درمان ها و تکنیک های جدید ارائه خواهد شد. این کار مرجع بر اساس شکافهای نسخه اول است و همچنان راهنمای قطعی برای پزشکان توانبخشی، ارتوپدی، متخصصان مغز و اعصاب و درمانگرانی است که کودکان مبتلا به CP را درمان میکنند.
Details pathology and impact on the musculoskeletal system Covers research, therapy and patient management techniques Explores medical management of children with the disability This new edition will grow to three volumes and significantly expand existing sections on medical management of children with cerebral palsy, research, education and therapies. The first volume will cover the cause of CP, the underlying pathology in the brain and the secondary pathologies in different tissues, such as muscle and bone. There are a fair number of controversies and new techniques, such as PET scans, that are getter attention to make earlier diagnosis. It is still not clear whether early diagnosis makes a long term difference. Epidemiology will also be discussed. The second volume will focus on general medical concerns related to CP on each of the medical specialties and the musculoskeletal section - which served as the main focus of the previous edition. This volume will be updated with an emphasis on gait disorders, spasticity, seizures and movement disorders. New research and techniques on the hip and spine areas will be added as well. The third and final volume will be an expanded and comprehensive resource on therapies. More detail on the latest outcome research and techniques will be provided along with sections on orthotics and novel treatments and techniques. This reference work will build on gaps within the first edition and continue to be the definitive guide for rehabilitation physicians, orthopedics, neurologists and therapists who treat children with CP
