AB  - This  chapter  applies  principles  of  musculoskeletal  development  to  common  pediatric  conditions  and  discusses  intervention  strategies.  For  educational  purposes,  this  book  is  divided  into  systems.  The  human  body,  however,  operates  through  an  interaction  of  all  of  the  systems.  Individuals  with  neurological  impairment  are  affected  by  the  musculoskeletal  system,  and  in  contrast,  individuals  with  musculoskeletal  impairment  can  make  improvements  through  refinements  in  the  nervous  system.  For  example,  someone  who  repeatedly  injures  a  joint  may  alleviate  the  problem  by  educating  the  nervous  system  to  move  in  a  new  pattern.  Likewise,  functional  abilities  of  an  individual  with  neurological  impairment  can  be  enhanced  through  improvements  in  ROM  or  force  production.  In  this  chapter,  only  the  musculoskeletal  aspects  of  disease  will  be  addressed.  For  information  on  the  neurological  components,  please  refer  to  Chapters  7  and  8.  The  end  of  the  chapter  provides  more  in-depth  information  and  intervention  suggestions  for  two  common  pediatric  conditions  with  significant  musculoskeletal  concerns:  cerebral  palsy  and  Down  syndrome.
