The text prepares therapists to examine and treat patients with problems related to balance, mobility,and upper extremity function, based on the best available evidence supportingclinical practice. This edition provides the latest research findings and their clinical applications in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function. Drawings, charts, tables, and photographs are also included to clarifypostural control and functional mobility, and laboratory activities and case studies are provided to reinforce key concepts. Videos on the back-of-book DVDexamine motor control deficits, including deficits in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function in different types of neurologic pathology (stroke, cerebellar pathology, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's disease) as wellas in balance impaired elders. These videos can be viewed in their entirety or in the following segments: impairments, postural control, mobility, and upper extremity control.
