AB This  case  study  focuses  on  the  physical  therapy  management  of  Kayla,  a  young  woman  with  spastic,  diplegic  cerebral  palsy  (CP).  Kayla  is  now  a  29-year-old  college  graduate  who  was  recently  married  (Fig.  18.1).  She  was  born  prematurely  and  has  received  physical  therapy  services  in  a  variety  of  settings  since  infancy.  She  has  been  followed  for  early  intervention,  early  childhood,  school-based,  outpatient,  and  home  health  physical  therapy  services.  At  this  time,  she  does  not  regularly  see  a  physical  therapist.  Kayla  walks  in  her  home  setting  and  in  the  community  using  bilateral  forearm  crutches.  For  longer  distances,  she  uses  a  motorized  cart.
