The diagnosis and management of the patient with abnormal balance, posture and gait continues to present the clinician with a formidable challenge. The second edition of this definitive text covers all clinical aspects of human locomotion, providing a comprehensive account of the various disorders causing these clinical problems, and of their subsequent management. Written by leading specialists in the field, and with the international focus enhanced in this new edition by an expanded editorial team, the book retains the multidisciplinary approach praised in the first edition. It is divided into sections on normal development, assessment, clinical disorders, rehabilitation, and problems specific to the elderly, maintaining the clinical focus throughout.
