    OCCUPATIONAL AND PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH RHEUMATIC DISEASES

    a clinical handbook

    Edited by Gay Kuchta and Iris Davidson, respectively Occupational Therapist, Vancouver Pediatric Rheumatology Program, British Columbia; Physical Therapist, Vancouver Pediatric Rheumatology Program, British Columbia, Canada

    Foreword by Ross Petty, Professor Emeritus, Division of Rheumatology, Department of Pediatrics, University of British Columbia and British Columbia Children's Hospital, Canada

    This volume comes at an important time in the development of the discipline, and reflects the knowledge gained by the authors through decades of hands-on experience of treating children and adolescents with the entire spectrum of rheumatic diseases. It emphasizes the integration of the expertise of all health care providers in an interactive team'

    Ross Petty in the Foreword

    'We set out to provide a comprehensive clinical handbook on the treatment of pediatric rheumatic diseases for the busy clinician wanting to find information quickly at various levels. The book is a reflection of our practice. Although we respect individual skills and personal preferences, we have often remarked that the occupational and physical therapy skill sets overlap and compliment each other. We hope this book will encourage appreciation of the transdiciplinary approach.'
    Gay Kuchta and Iris Davidson, in the Preface


    This highly practical handbook is easy to read and refer to on a daily basis. The wide-ranging style encourages a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to provide continuity of care, and the handy binding and layout is designed to aid quick access of core information.

    Featuring over 230 full-colour images and reproducible resources for patients and carers, this guide is a vital resource for Allied Health Professionals, especially those working with children.
