      Cet ouvrage consacré à la rééducation respiratoire propose une approche originale dans son contenu comme dans sa présentation. L'évaluation en est le concept-clé, tant dans la démarche diagnostique que dans l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre du projet thérapeutique. Le patient y est central grâce aux approches les plus récentes comme la réhabilitation respiratoire basée sur l'évaluation de la qualité de vie, l'éducation thérapeutique… Le cœur de l'ouvrage est constitué de chapitres traitant de la prévention et du traitement des grands types de dysfonctions respiratoires. L'accent est mis sur les objectifs et les moyens qui servent le projet thérapeutique du kinésithérapeute. En outre, une partie de pré-requis et 35 fiches techniques encadrent et alimentent, par de fréquents appels, cet exposé des traitements : - les pré-requis présentent de manière synthétique les bases physiologiques et physiopathologiques des troubles respiratoires ; - les fiches « Évaluation » donnent tous les outils nécessaires à l'évaluation et au suivi continu du patient ; - les fiches « Rééducation » détaillent les techniques de prise en charge des patients. Les auteurs présentent pour conclure trois cas cliniques, illustrations concrètes de la démarche diagnostique et thérapeutique en kinésithérapie. Ils insistent sur les liens que tisse le raisonnement clinique entre les savoirs théoriques et les données pratiques. Mise à jour, augmentée de nouvelles fiches et soutenue par une riche bibliographie, cette troisième édition s'impose comme une référence pour le praticien et pour l'étudiant. Elle permet une actualisation complète de l'ouvrage, en phase avec la littérature professionnelle récente, à travers l'ajout d'un chapitre concernant les effets du vieillissement sur la fonction respiratoire, et de nouveaux cas cliniques (BPCO, lobectomie, pleurésie). Grâce à sa structure didactique, cet ouvrage est un outil unique d'apprentissage de la kinésithérapie respiratoire.
