Riabilitazione ortopedica

Nel secolo scorso la cultura fisioterapica in ambito muscoloscheletrico era sussidiaria a quella ortopedica, in cui il modello

The second edition of Atlas of Image-Guided Spinal Procedures features a highly visual atlas format to illustrate exactly how to perform each technique. This medical reference walks you through each procedure, step-by-step, to safely and efficiently relieve patients' pain. This book presents an algorithmic, image-guided approach for each technique; trajectory view (demonstrates fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanar confirmation views (AP, lateral, oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns. Each fluoroscopic and ultrasound chapter also has the same "voice" so it is easy to follow. Safely and efficiently relieve your patients' pain with consistent, easy-to-follow chapters that guide you through each technique. Presents an algorithmic, image-guided approach for each technique: trajectory view (demonstrates fluoroscopic "setup"); multiplanarconfirmation views (AP, lateral, oblique); and "safety view" (what should be avoided during injection), along with optimal and suboptimal contrast patterns.Special chapters on Needle Techniques, Procedural Safety, Fluoroscopic and Ultrasound Imaging Pearls, Radiation Safety, and L5-S1 Disc Access provide additional visual instruction.View drawings of radiopaque landmarks and key radiolucent anatomy that cannot be viewed fluoroscopically.Videos including procedural "set-up" and optimal and suboptimal constrast flow are available in the Expert Consult eBook version.Includes new unique and diagrams demonstrating cervical, thoracic and lumbar radiofrequency probe placement and treatment zones on multiplanar views, as well as new unique tables and examples differentiating between optimal and suboptimal epidural contrast flowFeatures new coverage of ultrasound techniques, as well as new presentation of procedures for "spine masqueraders" such as the hip and shoulder. Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience allows you to access and search all of the text, figures, images, videos, and references from the book on a variety of devices

Il tempo e le innovazioni hanno portato al cambiamento dei materiali e delle tecniche per l'immobilizzazione esterna

Che cosa è e da dove origina la spalla dolorosa? Dopo aver presentato le numerose incongruenze cliniche e scientifiche che demoliscono la patogenesi ufficiale (al di là di ogni ragionevole dubbio) viene illustrato il percorso fisiologico che porta alla degenerazione (tendinosi) ed alla lesione tendinea del sovraspinato. Segue esposizione sulla biologia e biochimica (generale) per arrivare alla patogenesi della "spalla dolorosa" che vede l'origine della patologia in una alterazione osmotica delle strutture anatomiche più vascolarizzate presenti al polo superiore dell'articolazione (borse e guaina tendinea). Individuata la causa viene presentata la terapia idonea al riequilibrio biochimico dei tessuti sofferenti mediante tecnica denominata "allineamento frizionato".

Orthopedic Manual Therapy presents a systematic, step-by-step guide to manual therapy for disorders of the extremities and spine. Readers will find detailed examination and treatment techniques, the newest scientific and clinical advances, and updates on pain physiology, biomechanics, neurodynamics, and the biopsychosocial model of disease as the foundation for manual therapy. Special Features * Describes every procedure in well structured, logical sequences of assessment, classification, and intervention, including core questions for patients* Covers examination and treatment of all joints, from the toes to the shoulder girdle, with new information on the sacro-iliac joint tests, as well as additional new techniques for the wrist and the hindfoot * Provides more than 500 full-color, step-by-step photographs that illustrate every technique for treating functional disorders of the locomotor system* Explains the important topic of arthrokinematics (movement of the adjacent joint surfaces) and its role in the mechanics of manual therapy* Offers a practical documentation template for recording each articulation and communicating findings to colleagues or physicians* Access to 20 instructive videos on the Thieme MediaCenter that demonstrate procedures in real-life clinical situations Complete with case studies, checklists, and study questions, this practical, didactic book is ideal as both a textbook and a reference. Students and practitioners of physical and manual therapy will find it essential for gaining the knowledge and decision-making skills to treat any musculoskeletal disorder related to posture and movement.

Trattare le patologie muscoloscheletriche con la guida dell'ecografo significa poter monitorare il movimento dell'ago e individuare il punto in cui iniettare il farmaco con la massima precisione. I vantaggi per il paziente sono evidenti: meno dolore, maggiore sicurezza, ridotta necessità di trattamenti integrativi. Con molte immagini e testo sintetico il volume presenta per ogni patologia muscoloscheletrica la corretta tecnica di infiltrazione con spiegazioni dettagliate (posizionare la sonda, individuare il punto di incidenza dell'ago ed percorso da seguire) ma fornisce anche i criteri di valutazione del risultato, la posologia dei farmaci e le precauzioni post intervento

I Pocket Books in Rehabilitation, libretti agili e di facile consultazione, forniscono le nozioni di base di carattere fisiologico ed anatomico per ogni patologia, indicandone le linee-guida in ambito riabilitativo. Questo primo Pocket Book affronta un tema di grande attualità: la riabilitazione in seguito a risoluzione chirurgica di un danno condrale. In particolare, al capitolo che introduce le caratteristiche anatomiche della cartilagine, segue un approfondimento sui vari tipi di danno condrale e sui conseguenti tipi di trattamento. Gli ultimi due capitoli sono dedicati alla descrizione delle linee generali del percorso riabilitativo ed alla riabilitazione successiva alla riparazione di danno condrale del condilo femorale tramite impianto di condrociti autologhi.

In order to treat work-related musculoskeletal disorders, occupational and physical therapists need to do more than take a patient history, examine the worker, and perform laboratory tests. They must also understand the long-standing problems, the patternof recurring symptoms, and the differential diagnosis for specific conditions. "Management of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders" provides the information necessary to understand, assess, and treat these disorders in order to safely return the worker to the worksite.

The second edition of this handy reference tool includes even more special tests, treatment options and resources to help physical therapy students perform thorough and efficient musculoskeletal assessments of patients. Organized in outline format, each of the 15 chapters includes an overview of subjective and objective examination topics for a specific body region or system, followed by a quick reference table of special tests and treatment options. The expanded appendices also include a number of assessment tools and resources that will be useful to both students and professionals. The guide's small size and lay-flat spiral binding make it easy for students to refer to during actual patient treatment if they need to check on a test for a particular body region. Graduated tabs marking the location of each chapter and appendix will make it easier for students and clinicians to find information quickly.
