      Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans une série de 4 tomes, intitulés La voix, s'adressant à tous ceux qui se préoccupent des problèmes vocaux, qu'il s'agisse de voix pathologique en quête d'un diagnostic et d'un traitement ou de voix normale en quête d'une meilleure pratique de la parole ou du chant. Le tome 2 est consacré aux troubles fonctionnels de la voix et aux mécanismes si complexes de leur constitution. Il étudie systématiquement les divers types de dysphonies, qu'elles soient dites simples, c'est-à-dire sans complication laryngée, ou au contraire compliquées (nodules, polypes, œdèmes, ulcères…), ou de formes particulières (aphonies, dysodie, troubles de la mue…). Les descriptions cliniques s'appuient sur l'étude de plusieurs centaines d'observations. Dans chaque cas, les indications thérapeutiques sont précisées. Destiné aux orthophonistes, aux phoniatres et aux pédagogues de la voix parlée et chantée, il s'adresse aussi aux professionnels de la voix désireux de s'informer d'une façon approfondie. Il sera également utile aux étudiants en médecine et en particulier aux futurs spécialistes ORL et se révélera vite indispensable au laryngologiste intéressé par les problèmes phoniatriques.

      Neurological Assessment is a quick reference tool for identifying those all important links to pathology and physiology – crucial for efficient clinical reasoning and ultimately better patient care. Tabulated and coded neuroanatomy and assessment sections ensure clear navigable links from the problem definition (pathology) to relevant assessment information. For each clinical assessment tool there is a description of what the procedure is assessing, why it needs to be assessed and finally a step by step guide to how the assessment is carried out. All sections give detailed reasoning on any possible findings from the assessment technique and an example of how to record the procedure, encouraging the clinician to reflect on the technique carried out and to consider the overall impression from the patient, so facilitating the process of clinical reasoning. Part of the Physiotherapist’s Toolbox Series – unlock your key skills! Perfect for use on placement and in the clinic.
