description: Mobilization for the Neurologically Involved Child teaches physical therapists how to increase overall treatment options for their pediatric clients by assessing and treating all systems that interfere with mobility. This manual presents a reassessment of the traditional focus on the neural cause of motor dysfunction in cerebral palsy. The author, a physical therapist and educator, challenges the long-held belief that the pathology directly produces the motor deficit. Instead, she suggests that it is the subsequent immobility that causes as much, if not more, damage than the original condition.
