The purpose of this book is to explain aspects of
posture and movement and difficulties which
may arise as a results of neurological damage. The
emphasis is on the analysis of the abnormal
pathology which prevails and determining
appropriate treatment interventions.
The ability to unravel problems has been
described as an integral a part of physiotherapy
practice (Newman Henry 1985). 'Problem solving'
is a term often utilized in the management and
treatment of patients with a spread of disabilities

and particularly for those with neurological dys-
function. Patients with neurological disability

may present with complex and extensive move-
ment disorders additionally to cognitive and

sensory impairments. Analysing these deficits
and determining the foremost appropriate course of
treatment is that the aim of all staff working during this
field.
Problem solving could also be considered within the
context of both the physiotherapist identifying

the patient's problems and adopting an appro-
priate treatment approach and therefore the patient

himself learning to deal with the movement
deficit through compensatory strategies. Much
has been written with reference to the previous , the
terms 'clinical reasoning' and 'problem solving'
often getting used synonymously (Higgs 1992).
The concept of the patient being a drag solver
is perhaps less well recognised.
The physiotherapist as a drag solver is
dependent upon an accurate and extensive

knowledge of movement, taking into considera-
tion all aspects of the impairment which can

contribute to the movement deficit.
