Movement and Child Development (Clinics in Developmental Medicine

by Kenneth S. Holt (Editor)

This multi-authored book brings together workers from the different disciplines of psychiatry, psychology, physical therapy, neurology and paediatrics. The fundamental mechanisms of movement are discussed, methods of recording movement are considered, and the educational and therapeutic applications of movement are described. It is hoped that this work will draw attention to the importance of movement for child development, and thus stimulate further scientific study of this important subject. Paediatricians, physical therapists and teachers - children - will find this book of especial value in helping them to understand how impairment of movement can affect a child's development.
