Preface to the Third Edition

Six years has passed since the release of the second edition of the book Cerebral Palsy: A Multidisciplinary Approach. There was a good response from the readership, and the text was also translated into the Turkish language. As the scientific knowledge of the early diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of cerebral palsy has expanded since 2011, the production of the third edition of this book was inevitable as a means of incorporating all of the latest data and nuances. New distinguished authors from around the world, along with many authors of the second edition, have provided sharper and more acute dimensions to the overall upgraded version of this book. All of the chapters have been revised and updated, and new chapters have been added. The editor would like to thank all of the expert authors for their invaluable input, cooperation and patience towards the successful realization of this project and the publisher Springer Medicine Books, Continental, Europe & UK for the unwavering commitment in disseminating medical knowledge. Special thanks to Chri
