Spastic Quadriplegia: Bilateral Cerebral Palsy: Understanding and Managing the Condition across the Lifespan: A Practical Guide for Families (Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series) (EPUB)

By Marcie Ward, Lily Collison, Cheryl Tveit, Kate Edin
Spastic quadriplegia accounts for about one-fifth of cerebral palsy (CP), and CP itself is the most common cause of childhood-onset physical disability. An estimated 17 million people worldwide have CP. Spastic quadriplegia is also known as bilateral spastic CP or, simply, bilateral CP. Spastic quadriplegia affects all four limbs and the trunk. It is generally a severe form of CP that impacts many aspects of a person’s life. This practical guide addresses both the motor and nonmotor aspects of spastic quadriplegia across the lifespan and their treatment. It also includes the lived experience of families.
 
The writing of Spastic Quadriplegia was led by Marcie Ward, MD, Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine Physician at Gillette Children’s, a world-renowned center of excellence for the treatment of brain, bone, and movement conditions. Spastic Quadriplegia is part of the Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series, a series of books for families who are looking for clear, comprehensive information. Health care professionals, educators, students, and extended family members will also benefit from reading Spastic Quadriplegia.
