Libri di Robert C. Manske

Questo testo è stato progettato per fisioterapisti, dottori in osteopatia, educatori e studenti (*) cheseguono i programmi pre-professionali in fisioterapia e osteopatia, comprensivi del trattamentodi pazienti con dolore, disfunzioni articolari emuscolo scheletriche. Il linguaggio e i contenuti dellibro sono facili e adatti all’utilizzo in classe, nei laboratori e nei contesti di lavoro professionale.Il testo fornisce al lettore una valutazione delle attuali evidenze e teorie che supportano l’applicazione clinica delle procedure thrust e non-thrust articolari, per pazienti con sintomi derivanti da una vasta gamma di disturbi correlati al dolore, alla limitata mobilità articolare e alla disfunzione.La mobilizzazione e manipolazione articolareviene praticata da più di 40 anni. Questa forma di mobilizzazione e manipolazione articolare è alquanto popolare e largamente utilizzata nei programmi di fisioterapia negli Stati Uniti d’America.Essa è una delle tecniche più facili da comprendere ed applicare nella pratica clinica. Questo libro offre al lettore un chiaro approccio basato sulle strutture anatomiche, sulla funzione e sulle attuali evidenze.Il testo fornisce una panoramica della letteratura che supporta l’utilizzo della mobilizzazione articolare, della manipolazione articolare e della terapia manuale, come pure una spiegazione complementare della letteratura, dei concetti e delle teorie che sostengono il lettore nella comprensionedi come le tecniche thrust e non-thrust funzionanoper eliminare il dolore e ristabilire la normalemotilità articolare e la funzione. I lettori sono guidati su come determinare l’artrocinematicadelle disfunzioni articolari da trattare con la mobilizzazione/manipolazione articolare. In aggiunta il testo fornisce agli aspiranti terapisti manuali metodi facili da applicare per il trattamento delle comuni condizioni muscolo-scheletriche.Questo libro è inoltre reso unico dal materiale illustrativo anatomico, integrativo delle immaginidelle tecniche di trattamento. Queste sono state progettate per dare al lettore un’ulteriore visualizzazione delle finalità delle tecniche e per guidare il posizionamento delle mani e le procedure. Rilevanti i suggerimenti clinici presenti in ciascun capitolo, rivolti ad una migliore comprensione delle tecniche da parte del lettore.La prima parte introduce il lettore alle scienze di base che supportano la mobilizzazione e manipolazione articolare, comprese le indicazioni, la kinesiologia generale e altre informazioni. La seconda parte descrive le tecniche specifiche thrust e non-thrust per la colonna vertebrale e l’articolazione temporo-mandibolare. La terza parte descrive le tecniche per l’arto superiore. La quarta parte descrive le tecniche per l’arto inferiore.Infine in appendice sono descritte 26 auto-mobilizzazioni.Speriamo che le chiare, organizzate e ben illustrate descrizioni di queste tecniche sianoproficue per i lettori, come pure per i loro pazienti.

Detailed and evidence-based, this text focuses on musculoskeletal pathology and injury with descriptions of current and practical rehabilitation methods. PATHOLOGY AND INTERVENTION IN MUSCULOSKELETAL REHABILITATION provides everything you need to create and implement rehabilitation programs for your patients with musculoskeletal disorders due to injury, illness, or surgery. Each intervention includes a rationale, pathology and related problems, stages of healing, evidence in literature, and clinical reasoning considerations. This is the third volume of the new four-volume musculoskeletal rehabilitation series anchored by "Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment, 5th Edition." Dedicated and focused information on the specific pathologies most often seen in the clinic, as well as the best methods for intervention for the different areas of the body, minimizes duplication of information by referring you to other titles in the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series for basic scientific information regarding inflammation, healing, tissue deformation, and the development of muscular strength and endurance. Trusted experts in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, along with internationally recognized contributors, present the best evidence behind contemporary interventions directed toward the treatment of the impairments and functional limitations associated with acute, chronic, and congenital musculoskeletal conditions occurring across the lifespan. Evidence-based content, with over 4,000 references, supports the scientific principles for rehabilitation interventions, providing the best evidence for the management of musculoskeletal pathology and injury. NEW! The Skin and Wound Healing chapter looks at the numerous tools available to assist in objectively monitoring and treating a patient with an acute or chronic wound. NEW!

It also describes the application of therapeutic interventions for many orthopedic conditions by region and affliction. Edited by two experienced clinicians, Gary A. Shankman and Robert C. Manske, and written by contributors who are experts in their respective fields, this is your one-stop source for PTA practice in orthopedics.

In questa terza edizione del Brotzman "Riabilitazione in Ortopedia" le caratteristiche fondamentali del manuale sono rimaste invariate: le indicazioni terapeutiche, innanzitutto, sono chiare e frutto di un lavoro multidisciplinare; le varie patologie sono descritte in modo dettagliato; i criteri di valutazione del paziente e per la pianificazione del trattamento, le immagini e le figure sono molto chiare ed esplicative. Tra le novità, invece, si annovera una nuova e fondamentale sezione dedicata al trattamento dei disturbi spinali. "Riabilitazione in Ortopedia" si presenta come un testo moderno e funzionale all'aggiornamento di medici e fisioterapisti, che descrive i percorsi terapeutici specifici in tutte le fasi pre e post-operatorie e ha al suo interno gli strumenti per misurare i risultati ottenuti. Gli esercizi terapeutici sono illustrati in modo chiaro ed efficace per la gestione dell'intervento riabilitativo del paziente affetto da patologie ortopedico-reumatologiche. Inoltre, il volume per la prima volta è corredato da 113 filmati online relativi ai protocolli di riabilitazione evidence-based per il trattamento e la prevenzione delle lesioni sportive più comuni e per le condizioni post-chirurgiche, le tecniche di destabilizzazione, la riabilitazione e i test funzionali per il legamento crociato anteriore.
