French

À l’hôpital ou en privé, l’imagerie par résonance magnétique est devenue, pour le radiologue, un examen de pratique quotidienne. Ce guide, résolument pratique, propose pour chaque type d’examen : • une liste de points à analyser de façon systématique sous la forme d’une « check-list »; • une analyse descriptive et sémiologique de chacune des images présentées ; • un développement stratégique consacré au choix de l’examen d’imagerie, à la technique et aux points d’interprétation. Les entrées abordées correspondent à des motifs de consultation et sont spécifiquement adaptées à la pratique quotidienne. Ainsi, ce guide propose toutes les informations nécessaires à l’interprétation correcte des différents examens mais aussi les données sémiologiques et stratégiques permettant au médecin une rédaction claire et précise de son compte rendu. Le contenu, plus structuré, permet un accès rapide à l'essentiel : textes courts et énumératifs avec des encadrés spécifiques pour les alertes et les risques de confusion. Le radiologue accède ainsi à l'information de manière rapide, en lien direct avec sa pratique quotidienne, à l'hôpital ou en clinique privée. Le pictogramme, représentant une bombe, permet de souligner les éventuels pièges à éviter. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux radiologues débutants ou confirmés, étant amenés à pratiquer l’IRM dans leur activité clinique, quel que soit leur domaine de spécialisation.

Anatomy Trains

1st Edition
August 9, 2018
Thomas W. Myers
French

Cette première édition en langue française du best-seller mondial, Anatomy Trains®,va transformer et éclairer votre perception des réseaux myofasciaux. Anatomy Trains® : concepts et philosophie L’étude traditionnelle de l’anatomie met l’accent sur les muscles – considérés de façon individuelle – et reliés par chacune de leurs extrémités d’un os à l’autre. Anatomy Trains® élargit cette approche et révolutionne les concepts traditionnels. L’ouvrage met l’accent sur le principe d’intégrité et de continuité corporelle fonctionnelle exercé au sein du réseau myofascial. La métaphore est simple : le réseau myofascial fonctionne à l’image d’un réseau de voies ferrées. Stabilité, contrainte, tension, fixation, résilience et compensation posturales sont toutes distribuées selon des lignes corporelles. À l’aide d’une cartographie précise des méridiens myofasciaux, ce livre propose de nombreuses stratégies, novatrices et holistiques, pour restaurer et renforcer la posture et la fonctionnalité du mouvement. Ces concepts théoriques offrent au praticien les bénéfices suivants : 1. Anatomy Trains® est applicable quelque soit votre approche. Une fois les schémas reconnus, les concepts des méridiens myofasciaux peuvent être facilement appliqués dans l’évaluation et le traitement, en utilisant une variété d’approches thérapeutiques et éducatives en vue de faciliter le mouvement. 2. La théorie fournit une sensation en « 3D » plus puissante pour l’anatomie musculo-squelettique et une appréciation des schémas corporels qui assurent compensation du corps et performance fonctionnelle au quotidien. 3. Cliniquement, cette théorie montre comment une zone douloureuse du corps peut être reliée à une zone « silencieuse » à distance du problème, donnant lieu à de nouvelles stratégies de traitement. Les + de l’ouvrage : - La mise en page permet au lecteur de synthétiser le concept rapidement ou d’aider à une compréhension plus détaillée d’une zone ; - Des icones orientent le lecteur vers ses propres centres d’intérêts en fonction e sa spécialité, qu’elle soit thérapie manuelle, thérapie du mouvement, évaluation visuelle, éducation kinesthésique ; - Il explore les preuves des derniers résultats des découvertes scientifiques courantes, incluant des dissections de tissus fasciaux humain ; - Il traite du rôle des fascias en tant qu’organe sensitif étendu ; - Il contient des mises à jour qui sont le fruit d’un enseignement et d’une pratique ininterrompus – par exemple, comment les fascias interviennent dans les schémas de distribution des forces et comment cette distribution génère des schémas de douleur. - Une section traite des concepts d’Anatomy Trains® dans l’analyse de la physiologie de la marche. - Accessible en anglais pour le public français le site compagnon : www.myersmyofascialm... offre un complément multimédia avec des schémas, des séquences vidéo additionnelles, des contenus en ligne supplémentaires pour la pratique de l’évaluation visuelle.
