Clinics in Developmental Medicine No. 179
The complex nature of the postural control system makes it
vulnerable to adverse conditions during early life, such as
prenatally or perinatally acquired lesions of the brain or preterm
birth. Children with disorders of the developing brain nearly
always have dysfunctions in postural control. The postural control
system of children with other neurodevelopmental disabilities such
as myelomeningocele or muscle disease is also challenged: it has to
find age-specific solutions for the postural problems posed by the
disorder. These postural problems have serious consequences for the
activities of daily life, as adequate postural control is a
prerequisite for adequate motility.
Until now, knowledge about the nature of postural problems in
children has been scattered, and this has hampered the development
of appropriate therapeutic management strategies. This book is a
breakthrough in that it introduces the reader to the complexity of
typical and atypical postural development and provides suggestions
for the day-to-day management of postural problems in children with
developmental disorders such as cerebral palsy, developmental
coordination disorder, muscle disorder and myelomeningocoele.
"This should be a 'must read' for anyone whose occupation or
interests are in the areas of motor development or rehabilitation"
