      Lack of appreciation and knowledge of the malalignment syndrome often leads to a failure to notice the possible aetiological or predisposing factors contributing to many musculoskeletal problems. Recognition of the syndrome by physicians, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, sports trainers and others dealing with patients and athletes (including equine) can help them implement appropriate treatment and training to correct the malalignment and actually prevent the initial occurrence of symptoms. Now in its second edition, The Malalignment Syndrome has established itself as a trusty one-stop reference providing a detailed description of this syndrome and how it can be identified and treated. It concentrates on the trunk, pelvis, spine, sacroiliac joint and legs, incorporating anatomy, biomechanics, stability issues, possible causes, examination and diagnostic techniques as well as a comprehensive treatment approach. Emphasis is also placed on the participation of the patient/athlete in the day-to day treatment process to achieve long-term results.

      L'étude des troubles du langage oral chez l'enfant a connu un développement considérable à partir des années 1970 avec l'essor des recherches en psychologie du langage, en linguistique, et plus récemment dans le domaine des neurosciences et de la génétique. La prise en charge des troubles langagiers fait également l'objet actuellement d'une attention particulière dans la recherche scientifique. L'objectif principal de ce livre est de rendre accessibles les résultats des recherches récentes sur les troubles dits «dysphasiques » aux professionnels concernés par le suivi des enfants présentant cette pathologie. La dysphasie est définie comme un trouble développemental, qui concerne l'élaboration du langage oral, entraînant des difficultés importantes en compréhension et/ou en expression du langage parlé. C'est un trouble spécifique, sévère et persistant qui interfère d'emblée avec la dynamique développementale de l'enfant. La première partie de l'ouvrage expose les approches théoriques de la dysphasie, actuellement débattues dans la littérature scientifique, et dont la synthèse constitue une aide à l'établissement d'un diagnostic précis ou à la construction de programmes de prévention. La seconde partie présente différents types de rééducation, avec des exemples cliniques, et notamment le courant méthodologique EBP (Evidence-Based Practice), littéralement « pratiques basées sur les preuves », qui vise à aider le clinicien à vérifier la pertinence de ses choix. Illustré par des exemples concrets d'interprétation et d'évaluation des troubles, des stratégies d'élaboration du diagnostic, et comportant les recommandations issues de la littérature internationale, cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous les professionnels concernés par les troubles du langage oral et leur prise en charge : orthophonistes, neuropsychologues, médecins rééducateurs.
