Foreword
There are an estimated 15 million people suffering from
cerebral palsy around the world and it was time again to generate a
dialogue amongst scientists and clinicians, therapists and many other
professionals as well as people who are neurologically impaired themselves,
to re-examine our current diagnostic and therapeutic practices regarding
new developments in neuroscience.
This volume contains a substantial amont of displayed
results of work which was presented during the 5th International Congress
on Cerebral Palsy held at Lake Bled at the foot of the Julian Alps in
Slovenia from 7-10 June 2001, by nearly 500 participants from over 70
countries and all continents. These 27 submitted papers written by
researchers, clinicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech- and
occupational therapists and other professionals in the field of cerebral
palsy were grouped into six main topics ranging from epidemiology,
aethiology and diagnostic procedures to practical therapeutical approaches.
A variety of results presented state of the art of new
developments in the field of cerebral palsy from the most outstanding
medical centres in highly developed countries to environments just
starting to develop better health care for people with neurological
impairments and still with many financial and educational problems. If we
wish to be successful in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach we must
have a special and thorough knowledge of development of a human being and
its specific psychological and physical characteristic in each stage of
development, especially its nervous system.
These requirements seem to be met by the Monduzzi
Editore offer. We gratefully acknowledge willingness of the authors to
contribite to it. The feedback on such a format of the proceedings would
be much appreciated.
