An Illustrated Guide to Taping Techniques
Principles and Practice
Karin Austin

Kathryn A. Gwynn-Brett
e altri
editore: Mosby
pagine: 240
The successful and acclaimed "An Illustrated Guide to Taping Techniques" has now been fully updated and expanded in its second edition. Injuries are a constant problem in sporting life and often require immediate, on-the-spot action to alleviate pain and limit further damage. This book addresses the two most essential elements of effective taping - recognition of injuries and application of techniques. Accessible, portable and easy to use, the book is organized into two sections: the first covers taping supplies and their use, taping objectives, guidelines, basic pathology and key taping strategies; the second shows taping techniques in precise, step-by-step stages illustrated by color photographs. Techniques are further illustrated by physical demonstration in the DVD accompanying the book. Good taping is a matter of practice, but this book goes further than simply showing HOW to tape - it explores the reasons why we tape, and the therapeutic effect it has on the physiology, neurophysiology, biomechanics, neuromusculoskeletal system and psychology of an individual. The possible adverse reactions to these systems are also covered, as well as dermatological adverse reactions.

"Maitland's Clinical Companion" is the ideal reference for students who need support during their neuromusculoskeletal clinical practice in areas such as communication, clinical reasoning, examination and assessment. It is a vital source for understanding the role of mobilisation and manipulation in helping to maximize the recovery, rehabilitation and functioning of patients with movement-related disorders. The principles of the "Maitland Concept of Manipulative Physiotherapy" are applied to each body region so as to guide the student through to the appropriate selection, application and progression of mobilisation and manipulation techniques within the context of contemporary physiotherapeutic rehabilitation. This is a vital companion to the classic texts - "Vertebral and Peripheral Manipulation" - which promotes a patient-centred approach to neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome
A Practitioners Guide to Treatment
Leon Chaitow
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 440
In "Fibromyalgia Syndrome" - a practitioner's guide to treatment - Leon Chaitow and his contributors provide a comprehensive overview of this epidemiologically significant condition and describe the most effective multidisciplinary approaches to treatment. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) was recognised as a syndrome by the WHO in 1990. Sufferers from this complex syndrome may experience a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from headaches and fatigue to widespread muscular pain or irritable bowel syndrome. FMS is the second commonest condition encountered in clinics for the treatment of chronic pain. Because of its many presenting symptoms, different clinicians and therapists become involved in the treatment and management of FMS patients. Fibromyalgia Syndrome - a practitioner's guide to treatment - aims to help clinicians and therapists involved in the treatment and management of FMS to better understand the syndrome, and to plan appropriate treatment and management.
Skeletal Muscle Structure, Function, and Plasticity
Richard L. Lieber
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 336
In its third edition, this text addresses basic and applied physiological properties of skeletal muscle in the context of the physiological effects from clinical treatment. Anyone interested in human movement analysis and the understanding of generation and control from the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems in implementing movement will find this a valuable resource. A highlight color has been added to this edition's updated figures and tables, and the color plates section has been doubled, ensuring that all figures that need color treatment to clarify concepts receive this treatment. A new Clinical Problem feature uses concepts presented in each chapter in the context of a specific clinical case-for example, a spinal cord injury, a sports accident, or rehabilitation after bed rest.

Essential Physics for Manual Medicine
Martin Ferrier Young
editore: Churchill Livingstone
pagine: 272
This is a textbook that covers Physical concepts at a basic level for manual therapists specifically. Clinicians in general and manual therapists in particular have a need to understand certain, specific aspects of physics to an advanced level.However, many lack prior education in this area, with chemistry and biology 'A' levels being emphasized in terms of entrance requirements. Most textbooks aimed at this field concentrate exclusively on the physics underpinning biomechanics, but the level at which these books are pitched is often too high to allow understanding by students who have an inadequate background in the subject. This book acts, in part, as a primer to address this deficit. Students are also required to understand the basic physics underpinning physiology, biochemistry, radiography and therapeutics. This textbook will be a guide to these specialist areas of knowledge. This text will cover biophysics as a core subject to guide the potential clinician from total ignorance to complete mastery in the areas of physics pertinent to manual medicine and its related disciplines.

The Identification and Treatment of Gait Problems in Cerebral Palsy

,
Michael H. Schwartz
e altri
editore: Mac Keith Press
pagine: 660
The only book to deal specifically with the treatment of gait problems in cerebral palsy, this comprehensive, multi-disciplinary volume will be invaluable for all those working in the field of cerebral palsy and gait (neurologists, therapists, physiatrists, orthopaedic and neurosurgeons, and bioengineers). The book is divided into two parts. The first is designed to help the reader evaluate and understand a child with cerebral palsy. It deals with neurological control, musculoskeletal growth, and normal gait, as well as cerebral injury, growth deformities and gait pathology in children with cerebral palsy. The second section is a comprehensive overview of management. It emphasizes the most fundamental concept of treatment: manage the child's neurologic dysfunction first and then address the skeletal and muscular consequences of that dysfunction. The book has been thoroughly updated since the previous edition, with a greater focus on treatment and several entirely new topics covered, including chapters on the operative treatment of orthopaedic deformities. The book is accompanied by a DVD containing a teaching video on normal gait and a CD-ROM containing the videos and motion analysis data of all case examples used in the book, as well as teaching videos demonstrating the specifics of many of the procedures used in the correction of gait deformities and gait modelling examples from the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University.
Massage for Therapists
A Guide to Soft Tissue Therapy
Margaret Hollis
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 224
Massage is a basic skill within physiotherapy, and one which requires a high standard of practical application. It is a skill which is increasingly being taken up by other health care and complementary therapy professionals. This new, third edition of Massage for Therapists is a timely and thorough update which continues the tradition of Margaret Hollis' hands-on approach. The book is designed to be a step-by-step guide to the theory and practical application of classical massage. Once mastered, these techniques may form the basis for a variety of modifications suitable for specific conditions. Massage for Therapists is split into three sections: an introduction to massage and preparation for giving a massage; the massage manipulations by area of the body; and some key modifications to the standard manipulations. In order to further enhance the practitioner's skill and to give the reader a grounding in some of the popular specialities, updated chapters on aromatherapy and massage in sport sit alongside new chapters which introduce myofascial release and shiatsu.
Massage for Therapists will be of interest to student and qualified physiotherapists and sports therapists, as well as occupational therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, nurses, complementary therapists and beauty therapists. * Practical, applied text * Thoroughly updated by subject experts * Illustrated throughout with photographs which support the explanations of the therapeutic application.
